Kvikne is a former municipality that was part of the old Hedmark county, Norway. The 1,153-square-kilometre (445 sq mi) municipality of Kvikne existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1966 when it was split between the present-day municipalities of Tynset (in what is now Innlandet county) and Rennebu (in what is now Trøndelag county). The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Kvikne where Kvikne Church is located.[3]

HistoryEdit
Kvikne was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. The municipality of Kvikne was dissolved on 1 January 1966 and its lands were divided into two. The 952-square-kilometre (368 sq mi) Kvikne parish in the south (population: 664) was merged into Tynset Municipality in Hedmark county and the 201-square-kilometre (78 sq mi) Innset parish in the north (population: 420) was incorporated into Rennebu Municipality in Sør-Trøndelag county. A few years later in 1970, the border was adjusted again with the Garlia farm (population: 5) being transferred from Tynset to Rennebu.[3][4][5]
GovernmentEdit
All municipalities in Norway, including Kvikne, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[6]

The municipal council (Herredsstyre) of Kvikne was made up of representatives that were elected to four year terms. The party breakdown of the final municipal council was as follows:
