Hobøl is one of 10 municipalities which, due to their geographical placement miles away from the fjord / coast line, can be put into the area of Indre Østfold (Inner Østfold, the part of Østfold which do not have fjord or coast line), while those areas of Østfold who have fjord / coast line (Moss - Fredrikstad - Sarpsborg - Halden etc.) are called Ytre Østfold (Outer Østfold) and Nedre Glommaregionen (Lower Glomma Region).
Glommadal (Glåmdalen) is a designation for the valley formed by the river Glåma (also called the Glomma), which is the longest and largest river in Norway.
The name was referring to the valleys of the rivers Glomma, Rena, Trysilelva and Österdalälven (the parishes Idre and Särna belonged to Norway until 1644).
