in 1925, partially on land bought from Øverland. The centre was used as a Lebensborn facility during the German occupation of Norway. In the east, part of the Østre Øverland territory has been used for a golf course. Transportation In the interwar period, the extension of the Røa Line to Øverland was considered; the line would be constructed via Østerås to Øverland, continuing from there to Lommedalen in northwestern Bærum. The line reached Bærum in 1948 with the opening of Grini station, which was ultimately closed in 1995. At the time of the last extension in 1972, the original schedule was to build rails to Hosle; this did not materialize and the construction stopped east of Hosle, at Østerås station. Øverland is served by the line 143 of the Ruter bus network; the proximate bus station is named Åsterud. The bus station is located on the Norwegian National Road 168, which runs south of Øverland farm and arboretum. References Bærum
