The prestegjeld of Støren was established as a civil municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). In 1841, the large municipality of Støren was divided into three municipalities: Horg in the north (population: 2,374), Støren in the east (population: 2,312), and Soknedal in the west (population: 1,966). In 1879, the southern part of Støren (population: 585) was separated to form the new municipality of Budal. This left Støren with 1,840 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipalities of Budal (population: 529), Singsås (population: 1,554), Soknedal (population: 1,916), and Støren (population: 2,296) were all merged to form the new municipality of Midtre Gauldal.[5]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Støren farm (Old Norse: Staurin) since the first Støren Church was built there. The first element is staurr which means "pole" or "stake". The word staurr is probably referring to the pointed headland on which the church is located. The two rivers that form this headland are the Gaula and Sokna. The last element is vin which means "meadow" or "pasture".[6]
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[7]
