History
History
From 1838 to 1964, the village of Fåberg was the administrative centre of the old Fåberg Municipality. In 1964, the old municipality was merged into Lillehammer Municipality.
Name
Name
The village was named after the nearby Fåberg farm (Fágaberg) because the first Fåberg Church was built there. The meaning of the first element is unknown. The last element is berg which means "mountain". On 21 December 1917, a royal resolution enacted the 1917 Norwegian language reforms. Prior to this change, the name was spelled Faaberg with the digraph "aa", and after this reform, the name was spelled Fåberg, using the letter å instead.
