Lierne was separated from [[Snåsa]] [[January 1]], [[1874]]. It was divided in two municipalities [[July 1]], [[1915]] ([[Nordli]] and [[Sørli]]) - but these were again merged to one [[January 1]], [[1964]]. The cross-country race ''[[Flyktningerennet]]'' is arranged here every year. It is a race following a route from Nordli to [[Gäddede]], [[Strömsund Municipality]], [[Sweden]], in remembrance of the people who fled [[Nazi occupation of Norway|Nazi German-occupied Norway]] for Sweden during the [[World War II|Second World War]]. The municipality is known for its [[bear]]s, which the sheep farmers consider a recurring problem. ==Name== The [[Old Norse]] form of the name was ''Finnalíð'', where the first element is the plural genitive case of ''finnr'' m '[[Sami]] person' (because the district was mostly populated by Sami people at the time). The later form ''Lierne'' is the plural form of ''líð/li'' f 'mountain side'. ==Coat-of-arms== The coat-of-arms is from 1984. It shows three birds of grouse ([[Lagopus lagopus]]), which is plentiful in the municipality. (See also the coat-of-arms of [[Sirdal]] and [[Holtålen]].) {{Nord-Trøndelag}} [[Category:Municipalities of Nord-Trøndelag]] {{NordTrøndelag-geo-stub}} [[da:Lierne]] [[bpy:লিয়েরনে]] [[it:Lierne]] [[nl:Lierne]] [[no:Lierne]] [[nn:Lierne]] [[nds:Kommun Lierne]] [[pl:Lierne]] [[pt:Lierne]] [[sl:Lierne]] [[sv:Lierne kommun]]
