===Name===
===Name===
The municipality (originally the [[prestegjeld|parish]]) is named after the old ''Egge'' farm ({{langx|non|Egg}}) since the first [[Egge Church]] was built there.

Egge is a former municipality in what was Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 51-square-kilometre (20 sq mi) municipality existed from 1869 until 1964. It included the land just north of the town of Steinkjer in what is now Steinkjer Municipality in Trøndelag county. The small municipality was south of the lake Snåsavatnet, west of the lake Fossemvatnet, and east of Beitstad Municipality. The main church for the municipality was Egge Church, just north of the town of Steinkjer.[6]

Prior to its dissolution in 1963, the 51-square-kilometre (20 sq mi) municipality was the 587th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Egge Municipality was the 272nd most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 3,335. The municipality's population density was 65 inhabitants per square kilometre (170/sq mi) and its population had increased by 22.7% over the previous 10-year period.[7][8]

General information

[edit]

The parish of Egge was established as a municipality on 1 January 1869 when it was separated from the large Stod Municipality. Initially, Egge Municipality had a population of 941. In 1948, a small part of Egge Municipality (population: 70) was transferred to the neighboring town of Steinkjer.[9]

On 1 January 1964, a large municipal merger took place involving six rural municipalities and the town of Steinkjer. The following places were merged to form a new, larger Steinkjer Municipality:[9]

Name

[edit]

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Egge farm (Old Norse: Egg) since the first Egge Church was built there. The name is the dative case of the word egg which means "edge" (as in the edge of a knife), likely representing the fact that the old Egge farm is located on long soil ridge.[10]

Churches

[edit]

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

Geography

[edit]

Egge Municipality was located north of the town of Steinkjer. It was bordered by Beitstad Municipality and Kvam Municipality to the north, Stod Municipality to the east, and Ogndal Municipality to the southeast. The highest point in the municipality was the 304-metre (997 ft) tall mountain Byafjell.[1]

Government

[edit]

While it existed, Egge 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.[11] The municipality was under the jurisdiction of the Frostating Court of Appeal.
