History of the parish
Østre Aker clerical district was created by the division of Aker clerical district by Royal resolution February 16, 1861. It included that part of Aker which lay east of the city. On the north of the city the border was between Sinsen and Torshov and then further north on the east side of Grefsen farm. The islands in the fjord, which earlier had belonged to Oslo-Oslo Hospital, should belong to Østre Aker.

In 1906 the southern part of the clerical district was separated as its own clerical district, Nordstrand.
