Data from Statistics Norway

 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 Verran in Trøndelag county. The administrative centre was the village of Malm where Malm Church is located.[2]

History

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.[3]
