history

The name comes from the norrönen word Lautin , which consists of loud (Erdvertiefung) and vin composed (meadow). The writing form Løten originated in the early 19th century.

Løten was originally the easternmost place in Hedmark and has always been a transit station between east and west. The old town center was by the 13th century church of Løten. When rail traffic started in 1862, Løten became the new commercial and administrative center on Rørosbane .

Industry

The Løiten distillery, founded in 1855, made Løten famous. In 1927, the production of spirits was taken over by Vinmonopolet , but the production of raw alcohol continued until the 1990s. The traditional Løiten- Aquavit is produced today by Arcus AS .
