Gransherad

Gransherad

Gransherad is a former municipality in Telemark county, Norway, located north-west of the city Notodden.

"Grandsherred" was created in 1860 by the merger of the parishes Hovin in Tinn and Gransherad in Hjartdal. On January 1, 1886 Hovin was separated from Gransherad to form a municipality of its own. The split left Gransherad with a population of 1,393.

On 1 January 1964 the district of Øvre Jondalen with 132 inhabitants was moved to Kongsberg in Buskerud county. The rest of Gransherad, then with 1,115 inhabitants, became a part of Notodden.

Composer Klaus Egge was born in Gransherad.
