Central Norway


Central Norway is an administrative division of Norway that includes the counties of Trøndelag and Møre og Romsdal and is used by, for example, the regional health authorities and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. Compared to the traditional regions of Norway it covers all of Trøndelag and some of Vestlandet. It has a total population of just under 760,000 people, with the Trondheim metropolitan region accounting for roughly 275,000.
There has been some political movement towards replacing the counties with larger regions. It is then expected that much of Central Norway, at least Trøndelag and Nordmøre, will form one such region due to the historical, cultural and linguistic ties.
