History

The deanery was created on May 1, 1871, according to a government resolution dated March 18, 1871, by combining the Gudbrandsdalen Deanery in Søndre and Nordre Gudbrandsdal Deanery. The deanery got its present name in 1922. The government resolution of June 25, 1971 stated that the Midtre Gudbrandsdal deanery was to be merged into the Nord-Gudbrandsdal deanery on January 1, 1975. This resolution also called for Ringebu clerical district to be transferred into the Sør-Gudbrandsdal Deanery and it called for the Sør-Fron clerical district to be transferred from the Nord-Gudbrandsdal deanery to the Sør-Gudbrandsdal deanery effective August 1, 1977.
