Data from Statistics Norway

The 366-square-kilometre (141 sq mi) municipality is the 246th largest by area out of the 356 municipalities in Norway. Inderøy is the 146th most populous municipality in Norway with a population of 6,794. The municipality's population density is 19.3 inhabitants per square kilometre (50/sq mi) and its population has increased by 1.7% over the previous 10-year period.[3][4]

General information Edit

Inderøy was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1907, the municipality was divided into three municipalities: Røra (population: 866) in the southeast, Hustad (population: 732) in the north, and Inderøy (population: 2,976) in the west. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962, the three neighboring municipalities of Røra (population: 1,003), Sandvollan (population: 750), and Inderøy (population: 3,194) to form a new, larger municipality of Inderøy.[5] On 1 January 2012, the neighboring municipality of Mosvik was merged into Inderøy. This added about 800 more residents to the municipality, bringing the total population to 6,716 people. On 1 January 2018, the municipality switched from the old Nord-Trøndelag county to the new Trøndelag county.

Name Edit

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the Inderøya peninsula (Old Norse: Eynni iðri) since the parish included the whole peninsula. The first element is Eynni which means "island". The last element is iðri which means "inner". The name therefore meant "the inner island", referring to the peninsula which sticks out into the fjord (to contrast with the neighboring Ytterøya island which means "the outer island"). Historically, the municipal name was spelled Inderøen.[6]

Coat of arms Edit

The coat of arms was granted on 5 October 1984. The official blazon is "Gules, four flatfishes Or, one over two over one" (Norwegian: I rødt fire opprette gull flyndrer, 1-2-1). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is four European plaice (a type of flat fish) one over two over one. The fish design has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. This fish design was chosen to symbolize how this type of fish was once plentiful and was one of the main sources of income for the area until around 1940. The arms were designed by Nils Aas. In 2012, the arms were re-approved after the merger of Inderøy and Mosvik Municipality. The old arms of Inderøy were chosen to continue for the new, larger municipality since fishing is still important to the culture and history of the new municipality. The four fish shown on the arms are now said to represent the four original municipalities that now make up Inderøy: Inderøy, Mosvik, Røra, and Sandvollan.[7][8][9][10][11]

Churches Edit

The Church of Norway has four parishes (sokn) within the municipality of Inderøy. It is part of the Nord-Innherad prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nidaros.

History Edit

 
Sakshaug Churches

During the Middle Ages Inderøy was called Eynni iðri, meaning the inner island, which is still the meaning of the word Inderøy. Saurshaug (now Sakshaug) was an important political centre until the 20th century. In the Middle Ages it was the centre of the county Øynafylket, also including Beitstad and Verran. The Old Sakshaug Church was opened by Archbishop Eysteinn Erlendsson in 1184 and was the county church. Many of the construction techniques used in the archbishop's cathedral Nidarosdomen in Trondheim were experimented with on Old Sakshaug Church. Also the village of Sandvollan has a church from the Middle Ages, Hustad Church.[12]

During the late Middle Ages and until the breakup of the union between Sweden and Norway Inderøy was the seat of the Governor, Judge, and Tax Collector of Nordre Trondhjems amt, thus it was the county capital of the old Nord-Trøndelag county. The district court for the north central part of Trøndelag county is still named after Inderøy.

The city was first described by a Norwegian poet, Aasmund Olavsson Vinje, in 1860 who depicted its panorama from Rolsbakken.[12]

Government Edit

All municipalities in Norway, including Inderøy, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor.[13] The municipality falls under the Trøndelag District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal.

 
Sakshaug, School, and Administration Center

The administrative centre of Inderøy is Straumen where most of the commercial services are based. Municipal services are located about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the north, at Sakshaug. There are several boroughs in Inderøy: Kjerknesvågen, Mosvik, Røra, Sandvollan, Sakshaug, and Utøy. Each has its own primary school and community centre.

Economy Edit

 
Inderøy is mostly made up by lowland well suited for agriculture

Inderøy is primarily an agricultural area. Most of the municipality is cultivated, with grass and grains being the most common crops, but strawberries are also common. Most farmers also have forests. All dominant industry is oriented around agriculture, with factories producing distillery products (Sundnes Brenneri), animal feed, flat bread, jam, and juice (Røra Fabrikker), chickens, and other meat products. In addition there are numerous farms who manufacture their own produce and sell it on the farm.

There are also a number of service institutions in Inderøy, including stores, public services, and schools (including Utøy School). Quite a lot of people work in the neighboring municipalities of Levanger, Steinkjer, and Verdal—Inderøy being a suburb of those.

Geography Edit

Inderøy is located on two peninsulas (Fosen and Inderøya) in the inner sections of the Trondheimsfjord, bordering the municipalities of Indre Fosen, Levanger, Steinkjer, Verdal, and Verran. The Skarnsund strait lies between the Inderøy and Mosvik peninsulas in the center of the municipality, and it connects the main Trondheimsfjord with the inner Beitstadfjord. The lake Meltingvatnet lies along the Leksvik border in southern Inderøy.

Transportation Edit

The Nordland Line runs through Røra, and Røra Station is served hourly or more often by the Trøndelag Commuter Rail.[33] European route E6 also runs through Røra. It connects to Norwegian National Road 755 that runs through Sakshaug and onwards to Utøy and Mosvik. At Straumen, the road crosses the preserved Straumen Bridge and on the Inderøy–Mosvik border where it crosses the Skarnsund Bridge. National Road 761 runs from Sakshaug north through Sandvollan before intersecting with E6 south of Steinkjer. There is a limited bus service provided by TrønderBilene.[34]

Culture Edit

 
Muustrø Park, Inderøy

There are a number of cultural activities in Inderøy. The Inderøy Upper Secondary School has a music, dance, and drama line, and the county's music service is also located in Straumen. Quite a number of local activities are oriented around culture, including the annual jazz festival Soddjazz. There is also a gallery, Nils Aas Kunstverksted and numerous small artist workshops. The newspaper Inderøyningen is published in Straumen and covers the municipality.

Attractions Edit

Most tourist attractions are connected to The Golden Detour. Among these are local farms and a distillery that sell locally produced foods and beverages, as well as artist workshops and a fishing centre.

population 866 in the southeast Hustad population 732 in the north and Inderoy population 2 976 in the west During the 1960s there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the

1 January 2012 the neighboring municipality of Mosvik was merged into Inderoy This added about 800 more residents to the municipality bringing the total population to 6 716 people On 1 January 2018 the municipality switched from the old Nord Trondelag county to the new Trondelag county Name Edit The municipality originally the parish is named after the Inderoya peninsula Old Norse Eynni idri since the parish included the whole peninsula The first element is Eynni which means island The last element is idri which means inner The name therefore meant the inner island referring to the peninsula which sticks out into the fjord to contrast with the neighboring Ytteroya island which means the outer island Historically the municipal name was spelled Inderoen 6 Coat of arms Edit The coat of arms was granted on 5 October 1984 The official blazon is Gules four flatfishes Or one over two over one Norwegian I rodt fire opprette gull flyndrer 1 2 1 This means the arms have a red field background and the charge is four European plaice a type of flat fish one over two over one The fish design has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow but if it is made out of metal then gold is used This fish design was chosen to symbolize how this type of fish was once plentiful and was one of the main sources of income for the area until around 1940 The arms were designed by Nils Aas In 2012 the arms were re approved after the merger of Inderoy and Mosvik Municipality The old arms of Inderoy were chosen to continue for the new larger municipality since fishing is still important to the culture and history of the new municipality The four fish shown on the arms are now said to represent the four original municipalities that now make up Inderoy Inderoy Mosvik
