In 1737, the
Toten og Valdres prosti was established when the
Hadeland, Ringerike og Toten prosti and
Valdres og Hadeland prosti were reconfigured. The "
Toten" and "
Valdres" parts of the two deaneries were separated from the two larger deaneries to form a new deanery. The new
Toten og Valdres prosti included the parishes of
Biri,
Vardal,
Toten,
Land, Aurdal,
Slidre, and
Vang. In 1805, Aurdal was divided into
Søndre Aurdal and
Nordre Aurdal. From 1814-1816, the deanery was divided into two parts:
Toten og Land prosti and
Valdres prosti, but this was short-lived and in 1816, they were merged together again. In 1825, Toten was divided into
Østre Toten and
Vestre Toten and the
Feiring area simultaneously transferred to
Hurdal. In 1847, Land Municipality was divided into
Søndre Land Municipality and
Nordre Land Municipality. In 1848, Slidre Municipality was divided into
Vestre Slidre Municipality and
Øystre Slidre Municipality. By a royal resolution on 30 November 1852, the deanery was divided into two:
Valdres prosti (including all of
Valdres and
Land) and Toten prosti. The new
Toten prosti included the municipalities of
Biri,
Vardal,
Østre Toten,
Vestre Toten,
Gausdal, and
Fåberg. On 1 May 1871,
Gausdal Municipality was transferred from Toten prosti to
Søndre Gudbrandsdalen prosti. On 1 January 1902, the parish of Fåberg (
Fåberg Municipality and the
town of Lillehammer) was transferred to the
Sør-Gudbrandsdal prosti. ==Locations==
