Beitstad

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.
