General information

Snåsa was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). The eastern district of Lierne was separated from Snåsa on 1 January 1874 to form a separate municipality. Snåsa's boundaries have not changed since then.[3]

Name

The Old Norse form of the name was Snǫs. The name is identical with the word snös which means "prominent mountain" or "overhanging rock" (possibly referring to the mountain of Bergsåsen, at the inner end of the lake Snåsavatnet). The name was spelled Snaasen until the early 20th century.[4] The Southern Sami language version of the name is Snåasen tjielte, which was officially accepted in 2010 as an alternate name for the Norwegian: Snåsa kommune.[5]

Coat-of-arms

The coat-of-arms is from modern times; they were granted in 1994. The arms show a yellow Lady Slipper orchid (Cypripedium calceolus) on a blue background. This particular flower is prevalent throughout the municipality.[5]

Churches

The Church of Norway has one parish (sokn) within the municipality of Snåsa. It is part of the Nord-Innherad deanery and the Diocese of Nidaros.
