The two first digits of MUNICNO indicate the province (PROVNO) where a household was located.
If the third digit is 0, then the municipality is a town. See URBAN for more information on towns in Norway.
The municipalities originated in 1837, based on the older parish structure. Over time, many parishes split into several municipalities. Further information is available at the Norwegian Historical Data Centre's website.
