Hagaset med Hagasetlien øvre
Sub-farms: Bråten, Enger, Fredlund, Solheim, Tommasset
Nobody is sure how old Hagaset is, however, Frøholm believes
it was settled in the 10th or 11th century. Rygh suggests
the name Hagaset comes from the old Norwegian word Hagi,
which means pasture-field. Hagaset was emptied during the
Black Death and wasn't re-populated again until around the
middle of the 16th century.
Hagaset was originally part of the Berge farm in Nord-Aurdal.
This part of Etnedal, in the northwestern corner of the valley,
belonged previously to the Nord Aurdal Community.
The farm was first purchased by Syver Berge on 20 February
1666. At that time he told that his father had settled on
the farm originally. Today Hagaset is comprised of two units,
nordre Hagaset and søndre Hagaset. As this farm is located
on the border to Nord Aurdal the families living on the farms
have close family ties to Ranheim and Skrautvål in Nord Aurdal.
