Slidre is a former municipality in the old Oppland county, Norway. The 1,337-square-kilometre (516 sq mi) municipality[3][4] existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1849 when it was divided into Vestre Slidre Municipality and Øystre Slidre Municipality. The administrative centre was the village of Slidre.[5]

History

The prestegjeld of Slidre was established as a civil municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The municipality did not exist very long. On 1 January 1849, the municipality was divided into Vestre Slidre Municipality (population: 3,130) and Øystre Slidre Municipality (population: 2,406).[6]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Slidre farm (Old Norse: Slíðrar or Slíðrir) since the historic Slidre Church was built there during the 12th century. The meaning of the name is not definitively known. It may be derived from the word slir which comes from the Old Norse word slíðr which means "sheath" (which is probably referring to a long depression near the church).[7][5]
