Eina

Eina is a village in Vestre Toten municipality, Innlandet county, Norway. The population is 677. The village is one of the destinations on the Gjøvik Line, between Jaren and Raufoss.
Eina is located a mere 12 km south of Raufoss, and has its center just north of Einavatnet . From Einavatnet comes the river Hunnselva which travels north to Mjøsa. Some 1,500 people inhabit the area surrounding the lake, not including Eina.

The area has been populated since before the early 11th century, but did not see significant growth until the Norwegian industrialization. This was due to the Gjøvik Line being built, which brought passengers and freight to and through the village. In 1902, the local railroad station stood ready, and in 1908 Eina would become a municipality on its own when Vestre Toten split into three . At this time, Eina had 1,173 inhabitants, and was experiencing significant economic growth. In 1964, Eina merged with Vestre Toten, by then having grown to 1,591 inhabitants.
