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 the northeastern portion of what is now the municipality of Steinkjer in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was the village of Malm where Malm Church is located.[3]

History

View of the Tjuin area of Malm

The municipality was established on 1 July 1913 when the western district of the municipality of Beitstad was separated to form the new municipality of Malm. The initial population of Malm was 993 people, which left Beitstad 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, the municipality of Malm (population: 2,975) was merged with the neighboring municipality of Verran (population: 1,803), creating a new municipality called Verran.[4]

Name

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.[5] 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.[6]

Government

While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[7]
