Hedmark, Former administrative region in Eastern Norway.

Hedmark extended across 27,398 square kilometers of forests, lakes, and agricultural lands, bordered by Sweden, Trøndelag, Oppland, and Akershus.

The region functioned as an independent county from 1919 until December 31, 2019, when it merged with Oppland to form the new Innlandet county.

The Hedmark Museum maintains extensive collections of regional artifacts and documents that detail local customs, traditions, and rural life through centuries.

The administrative center of Hamar coordinated services for 22 municipalities, including Elverum, Kongsvinger, and Trysil, serving a population of 197,831 residents.

Lake Mjøsa and Glomma River flow through the former county, creating natural divisions between three distinct districts: Hedemarken, Østerdalen, and Solør/Glåmdalen.
