It is part of the [traditional region](/source/Districts_of_Norway) of [Hadeland](/source/Hadeland). The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of [Roa](/source/Roa%2C_Norway). Lunner was established when it was separated from [Jevnaker Municipality](/source/Jevnaker_Municipality) on 1 January 1898. From 1 January 2020 the municipality belonged to [Viken](/source/Viken_(county)) county and afterwards it was handed over to its successor Akershus. It was in [Oppland](/source/Oppland) before that. ==General information== ===Name=== The municipality (originally the [parish](/source/parish)) is named after the old ''Lunner'' farm ([Old Norse](/source/Old_Norse): ''Lunnar''), since the first church was built here. The name is the [plural](/source/plural) form of {{lang|no|lunnr}} "[log](/source/Logging)". (The farm and the church are located on a long hill which was probably compared to a log.){{cite book|title=Norske gaardnavne: Kristians amt (Anden halvdel)|edition=4|author-link=Oluf Rygh|last=Rygh|first=Oluf|publisher=W.
