Namdalen
Namdalen () is a traditional district in the central part of Norway, consisting of the municipalities Namsos, Grong, Overhalla, Røyrvik, Fosnes, Nærøy, Høylandet, Namdalseid, Flatanger, Lierne, Leka, Namsskogan, and Vikna, all in Nord-Trøndelag county. The district has two towns: Kolvereid and Namsos. The whole district covers about and has about 35,000 residents (2009).
The district surrounds the Namdalen valley and the river Namsen, one of the best salmon rivers in Europe (only the Tana river in Finnmark yields a larger catch of salmon). Agriculture and forestry have always been important in Namdalen. Norway spruce is the most prevalent tree species. The grain fields in the lower part of the valley are among the most northern in Norway. Part of the forest in the coastal and lowland part of the valley belong to the Scandinavian coastal conifer forests type, while the upper part of the valley has long and cold winters.〔
In the early Viking Age, before Harald Fairhair, Namdalen was a petty kingdom. Today, the Namdal District Court covers the same general area. The European route E6 highway and the Nordlandsbanen railway line run throughout the valley.
==Name==
The Old Norse form of the name was ''Naumudalr''. The first element is the genitive case of the river name ''Nauma'' (now Namsen) and the last element is ''dalr'' which means "valley" or "dale". The meaning of the river name is unknown.
