Beitstad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beitstad is a village and former municipality in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It was created in 1837 as Beitstad formannskapsdistrikt.
The municipality of Namdalseid was merged with Beitstad in 1846. On January 1, 1904 the district of Namdalseid was separated from Beitstad (again) to create a municipality of its own. The split left Beitstad with 2,946 inhabitants. On July 1, 1913 another split took place, leaving Malm as a separate municipality and Beitstad with a population of 1,934.
On 1 January 1964 Beitstad merged with Egge, Kvam, Ogndal, Sparbu, Steinkjer and Stod to form the enlarged Steinkjer municipality. Before the merger Egge had a population of 2,563.
