Sør-Trøndelag

The county covered 18,856 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, including mountains, fjords, and agricultural lowlands between the North Sea and Swedish border.

Established in 1804 after the division of Trondhjems amt, Sør-Trøndelag functioned as a separate administrative entity until its merger with Nord-Trøndelag in 2018.

The region maintained the Trøndersk dialect, characterized by distinct pronunciation patterns and vocabulary that differentiated it from standard Norwegian language variants.

The European Route E6 connected multiple municipalities within Sør-Trøndelag, while Trondheim Airport Værnes served as the main transportation hub for the region.

The county contained 25 municipalities with different population densities, from urban Trondheim with 190,000 residents to rural Tydal with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants.
