History
Starting around 1600, Troms county was divided into two district courts: Senja District Court and Tromsø District Court. In 1755 the two courts were merged into one court: Senja og Tromsø District Court. When Tromsø became a kjøpstad in 1794, it was supposed to have its own court, although that didn't actually happen until 1838. In 1855, the district court was divided back to the historical Senja District Court and Tromsø District Court. In 1917, the Tromsø District Court was divided into two: Malangen District Court and Lyngen District Court. In 1985, a new Tromsø District Court was established by the merger of the Tromsø City Court and the Malangen District Court. In 1990, the Nord-Troms District Court was created when the Tromsø District Court was merged with the Lyngen District Court. Originally, it was called the Nord-Troms herredsrett, but in 2002, all courts of first instance in Norway changed their name tingrett, thus its new name was Nord-Troms tingrett.[4] On 26 April 2021, Nord-Troms District Court was merged with the Senja District Court to create the new Nord-Troms og Senja District Court.[5]
