History
The municipality of Byneset was established on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). According to the 1835 census, there were 2,143 people living in Byneset.[2] In 1855, the southern parish of Buvik (population: 841) was separated from Byneset to form its own municipality. This left Byneset with a population of 2,109. On 1 January 1964, Byneset was incorporated into the urban municipality of Trondheim, along with Leinstrand, Strinda, and Tiller. Byneset was the smallest of those municipalities prior to the merger, with a population of 2,049.[3]
