Ole Ingebrigtsen Soelberg

Ole Ingebrigtsen Soelberg (1798–1874) was a Norwegian politician.

He was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1833, 1836, 1842, 1845, 1851 and 1854. He represented the rural constituency of Søndre Trondhjems Amt (today named Sør-Trøndelag), except for 1842 when he represented Nordre Trondhjems Amt (today named Nord-Trøndelag). He worked as a farmer,[1] and supported farmer-friendly policies.[2]

He was born in Soknedal, but moved to Strinda in 1835. Local government was introduced in Norway in 1837, and Soelberg served as mayor of Strinda municipality for a total of 14 years, divided between three periods between 1839 and 1862. He had moved to Gløshaugen in 1860, and lived there for the rest of his life.[2]
