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]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Malm, 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 elects a mayor.[4]
