 The decision was then made to redraw the county boundary to run down the fjord, assigning the northern part, Nord-Bindalen, to Nordland county, which remained in the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, while the larger part remained in Trondheim county and became Sør-Bindalen and part of the Kingdom of Sweden.The two remained separate after Trøndelag county was reunited with Norway in 1660.In 1815, a single parish of Bindalen was created from the larger parish of Brønnø, despite the secular division of the community.
