Gol is a municipality in Buskerud in Viken county, Norway. It is part of the traditional region of Hallingdal. The administrative center of the municipality is the village of Gol which is also the population center. Gol was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 . The area of Hemsedal was separated from Gol in 1897 to become a separate municipality. The municipality of Gol is bordered to the north by the municipality of Nord-Aurdal , to the east by Sør-Aurdal , to the south by Nes, and to the west by Ål and Hemsedal.
The Old Norse form of the name was Gǫrð. This is probably an old river name . The name of the river maybe derived from the word garðr m 'fence; border' - and the meaning is then 'the border river'.
