List of county governors of Oppland

The office of county governor is a government agency of the Kingdom of Norway; the title was Amtmann (before 1919) and then Fylkesmann (after 1919).

[1] The large Akershus stiftamt was established in 1664 by the king and it had several subordinate counties (amt).

In 1781, the eastern part of the county was split off to form the new Hedemarkens amt (later renamed Hedmark) and the remaining part of the county became known as Christians amt (later renamed Oppland).

The governor carries out the resolutions and guidelines of the Storting and government.

This is done first by the county governor performing administrative tasks on behalf of the ministries.
