Ogndal (historically: Skei) is a former municipality in what was the old Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. The 418-square-kilometre (161 sq mi) municipality existed from 1885 until its dissolution in 1964. The municipality included the whole Ogndalen valley and areas to the west, up to, but not including the town of Steinkjer in what is now the central and western part of Steinkjer Municipality in Trøndelag county. Initially, the administrative centre of the municipality was the small village of Skei where the Skei Church was located. In 1917, the administrative center of Ogndal was moved to the nearby town of Steinkjer (even though that was not a part of Ogndal Municipality).[6][7]
Prior to its dissolution in 1963, the 418-square-kilometre (161 sq mi) municipality was the 227th largest by area out of the 689 municipalities in Norway. Ogndal Municipality was the 351st most populous municipality in Norway with a population of about 2,625. The municipality's population density was 6.3 inhabitants per square kilometre (16/sq mi) and its population had increased by 22.3% over the previous 10-year period.[8][9]
The main church for Ogndal, Skei Church, is located in the village of Skei in western Ogndal. Another church, Bodom Chapel, is located in the eastern part of the municipality.
