The river Brumunda serves as the border between the Church of Norway parishes of Furnes and Veldre. During the Middle Ages, the river was the border between southern and northern Hedemarken. It still serves as the border between the southern and northern variants of the Hedmarksk dialect. North of the river people use ei and øy, while on the south side they say e and ø.
