History
In 1847, the old Solør og Odalen District Court was split in two: the new Solør District Court served the Solør area and the new Vinger og Odal District Court served the municipalities of Kongsvinger and Eidskog (which were in Vinger) and the municipalities of Sør-Odal and Nord-Odal (which were in Odal). On 1 April 2006, the old Solør District Court was dissolved and the municipality of Grue was merged with the Vinger og Odal District Court and the newly merged court was renamed Glåmdal District Court. On 26 April 2021, the court was merged with the Nedre Romerike District Court and the Øvre Romerike District Court to create the new Romerike og Glåmdal District Court.
