Wikipedia
The municipality of Steigen was established on 1 January 1838 ( see formannskapsdistrikt ).
The southern part of Steigen was separated on 1 September 1900 to form the new municipality of Ledingen.
This left 2, 216 residents in Steigen.
On 1 January 1964 a major municipal merger took place.
The municipality of Steigen was merged with all of Leiranger, most of Nordfold ( except the Mørsvikbotn area ), the small Brennsund area of Kjerringøy, and the part of Hamarøy that was south of the Sagfjorden and around the lake Storvatnet.
The new municipality was also named Steigen.
Prior to the merger, the population of Steigen was 1, 843, and after the merger, the new municipality had 4, 545 residents.
