Nordli Church

The municipality of Nordli was established on 1 July 1915 when the old Lierne Municipality was split in two parts: Nordli Municipality (population: 863) in the north and Sørli Municipality (population: 739) in the south. The old Lierne Municipality had been created on 1 January 1874 when it was separated from the large Snåsa Municipality. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the neighboring Sørli Municipality (population: 898) and Nordli Municipality (population: 1,147) were reunited to once again form Lierne Municipality.^[4]

Name

The municipal name is named after the old name for the region (Template:Wikt-lang) which means "mountainside" (similar to the Norwegian word Template:Wikt-lang). Historically, the prefix Finna- was often added to the name: Script error: No such module "Lang".. This prefix is the plural genitive case of Template:Wikt-lang which means "Sami person" (or Finn) because the district was historically populated by Sami people prior to the arrival of ethnic Norwegians. Later, the prefix was dropped and the definite plural form of li was used, Lierne. In 1915, the old municipality was divided into two parts: Nordli and Sørli. The names of these new municipalities came from the older name. The definite singular form of the name was used, Template:Wikt-lang, and the prefix Template:Wikt-lang was added to show that this was the northern part of Li.^[5]
