Ytterøy is a former municipality in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It originally encompassed the island of Ytterøya and parts of the mainland to the northwest of the island on the west side of the Trondheimsfjord. The island is located in the present-day municipality of Levanger which is located on the east side of the fjord. The main church for the municipality was Ytterøy Church.
History
Ytterøy was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 January 1867, the mainland part of the municipality was separated from Ytterøy to form the new municipality of Mosvik og Verran. This left the municipality of Ytterøy with 1,499 residents on the island of Ytterøya.
On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Ytterøy was merged with the neighboring municipality of Levanger. Prior to the merger, Ytterøy had 772 residents.[1]
Name
The Old Norse forms of the name were Ýtriøy and Øyin ýtri. The meaning of the name is "the outer island" (it is related to Inderøy).[2]
