How Lommedalen came to be
According to the Store Norske Leksikon, the valley is named after the Lomma river, and the name probably comes from the word for the loon.1 An old road between Oslo and Ringerike ran through the valley, probably as part of the pilgrim route.2
According to Lokalhistoriewiki, Øvre Johnsrud had a coaching inn for more than 200 years until the 1860s, and Solhaug was built in 1898. Lommedalsbanen is a narrow-gauge museum railway.3 Much of Bærum’s housing in the 1980s was built in the lower valley, and Trulsrudmarka was developed in the 1990s and 2000s.4
