Meråker

Meråker is a Norwegian municipality in Nord-Trøndelag. It is bounded on the east by Sweden.

The name is derived from the old word for horse = " merr " and " Åker " = field. 1850 Stjørdal was divided and Meråker was together with Hegra Øvre Stjørdal. On January 1, 1874, the municipality " Øvre Stjørdal " was again divided into Meråker and Hegra, which were at first independent, then Hegra was on 1 January 1962 part of Stjørdal.

Meråker used to be, as the mine car shows in the coat of arms, a mining area and is now considered a health resort.
