History[]
Toten Deanery was created in 1737 by separation from Hadeland, Ringerike and Toten deaneries and Valdres and Hadeland deaneries. It included Biri, Vardal, Toten (divided into Østre Toten and Vestre Toten in 1825 and Feiring was simultaneously transferred to Hurdal), Land (divided into Søndre Land and Nordre Land in 1847), Aurdal (divided into Søndre Aurdal and Nordre Aurdal in 1805), Slidre (divided into Vestre Slidre and Øystre Slidre in 1848), Vang and Valdres. The two parts of the deanery - Toten (with Land) and Valdres - were separated between 1814 and 1816. The deanery was divided in 1853 into Toten deanery and Valdres (with Land) deanery, according to a Royal Resolution dated November 30, 1852.[1]
