Levanger, Trøndelag County, Central Norway Region, Norway

🇳🇴 Levanger is a university town and the administrative centre of Levanger Municipality in Trøndelag county, Norway. The town is located along the eastern shore of the Trondheimsfjorden, at the mouth of the river Levangselva. The town is located about half-way between the towns of Steinkjer and Stjørdalshalsen. Prior to 1962, the town of Levanger and its immediate vicinity was its own municipality. The town houses a campus of the Nord University.

The town is laid out according to an urban and regulated plot with proper streets such as Kirkegata, the main road in the town. It's more than just a townhall and a city square. In fact, Levanger's always been a town, though not always officially, and every inhabitant in the town area carry this piece of knowledge with pride. Thus there does exist a sense of distinction between town people, and the people from the surrounding countryside.

In 2002, Levanger joined the Cittaslow movement, although there have been some violations of the Cittaslow charter, of which can be mentioned the construction of the unharmonic new mini mall in Sjøgata, down by the seaside. This mini mall includes the post office, a grocery store, and an electrical appliances store.

Subsequent to a merger of several institutions of higher education, including the former Høgskolen i Nord-Trøndelag, Levanger houses a campus of the Nord University as of 2016.
