General information
Frosta was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). It is one of very few municipalities in Norway with unchanged borders since that date.[5] In 2018, the municipality, which was part of the old Nord-Trøndelag county became part of the new Trøndelag county.
Name
The Old Norse form of the name was (also) Frosta. The meaning of the name is unknown. Historically, the name was also spelled Frosten.[6]
Coat of arms
The coat of arms was granted on 26 June 1987. The arms show a gold sceptre or mace on a green background. The coat of arms was inspired by the old seal of the medieval Frostating assembly, where King Magnus VI the law-mender is sitting with a lily sceptre in his hand. Frosta was one of the historic places of justice, so this was chosen to commemorate that fact.[7][8]

Frosta is on a peninsula in the Trondheimsfjord, about 20 km (12 mi) northeast of Trondheim. By road the distance is about 75 km (47 mi) Frosta is sometimes nicknamed "Trondheim's kitchen garden" due to many farms with production of vegetables, as well as a good microclimate.

History
Several rock engraving sites can be found in the parish, together with burial mounds from Viking times.

A number of logs sticking up along the shoreline at Frosta have been dated back to around year 1000.
Norway's oldest court, Frostating, had its seat here at Tinghaugen, close to the medieval church at Logtun. On the island of Tautra can be found the remains of Tautra Abbey, a Trappist (Reformed Cistercian) convent, established in 1207.

The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elect a mayor.[10] The municipality falls under the Trøndelag District Court and the Frostating Court of Appeal.
