History
During the 1600s, the area was used for forestry, with a lot of the trees being cut down to be used at the smelter in
Tolga, so by the early 1700s, the area was cleared with few forests remaining. Today's village area was first settled in 1732 when two married couples moved to the area to start a farm. They were from
Vingelen in
Tolga. Historically, the people of Vingelen had farming and fishing rights to the areas around the lake
Narsjøen, but no one lived there year-round. At its peak, there were 10 farms operating in the village, but that has since declined.
