Halvor Bache Guldahl

Halvor Bache Guldahl (18 March 1859 – 10 October 1931) was a Norwegian jurist, businessman and County Governor of Nord-Trøndelag.

He was born in Beitstad.[1] After graduating in law, he worked at Inderøy District Court from 1884 to 1886. He then started as a solicitor in Steinkjer. He was co-founder of Innherreds Kreditbank in 1887,[1] and was the first bank director.[2] He later bought Ogndalsbruket and managed it from 1894 to 1902.[1]

Guldahl was acting county governor from 1898 to 1902, while Ole Anton Qvam was member of Parliament and later government minister.[1] He was appointed county governor again in 1916, and sat until 1927.[3] As county governor, he was one of the leading initiatives to found the county-owned power company Nord-Trøndelag Elektrisitetsverk and the bus company Fylkesbilene i Nord-Trøndelag. He was Fylkesbilene's first chair.[4]

He died in October 1931 in Oslo. His will left large assets, including a collection of paintings, to Nord-Trøndelag County Municipality.[1]
