Malmⓘ is a former municipality in the old Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 261-square-kilometre (101 sq mi) municipality existed from 1913 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality included a portion of what is now Steinkjer Municipality in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was the village of Malm where Malm Church is located.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1963, the 261-square-kilometre (101 sq mi) municipality was the 312th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Malm Municipality was the 308th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 2,986. The municipality's population density was 11.4 inhabitants per square kilometre (30/sq mi) and its population had increased by 16.4% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

General information

The municipality was established on 1 July 1913 when the western district of Beitstad Municipality was separated to form the new Malm Municipality. The initial population of Malm was 993 people, which left Beitstad Municipality with 1,934. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Malm Municipality (population: 2,975) was merged with the neighboring Verran Municipality (population: 1,803), creating a new, larger Verran Municipality.[9]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Malm farm (Old Norse: Malmar) since the first Malm Church was built there. The name is the plural form of malmr which means "ore", likely referring to a gravelly plain or iron ore.[10] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Malme. On 18 September 1914, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Malm.[11]

Churches

[edit]

The Church of Norway had one parish (sokn) within Malm Municipality. At the time of the municipal dissolution, it was part of the Beitstad prestegjeld and the Nord-Innherad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.[8]

Geography

[edit]

Malm Municipality was located a little to the west of the town of Steinkjer. It was surrounded by Namdalseid Municipality to the north, Beitstad Municipality to the east, the Beitstadfjorden and Verran Municipality to the south, and Åfjord Municipality to the west. The highest point in the municipality was the 655.2-metre (2,150 ft) tall mountain Sandvassheia on the border with Verran Municipality.[1]

Government

[edit]

While it existed, Malm Municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, welfare and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads and utilities. The municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[12] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Frostating Court of Appeal.
