Ytre Rendal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ytre Rendal is a former municipality in Hedmark county, Norway. It was originally (from 1837) a part of Rendal formannskapsdistrikt.

In 1880 Rendal was split in two to create the municipalities Ytre Rendal og Øvre Rendal. At the point of creation Ytre Rendal had a population of 1 661.
