Earlier it used to be a 6-point as also Snåsa municipality met with the others at the same point. Later Grong municipality took over some of Snåsa's territory and the borders changed. In 1964 the municipalities of Harran and Grong merged. According to correspondence with Snåsa municipality in 1939 the boundary between Snåsa and Grong was changed due to discussion about compulsory school attendance in the valley of Sanddøldalen. The Swedish part of the road between Kvelia and Tunnsjøen in Nordli was prior to early Sunday morning at 5:00 on the 3rd of September 1967 the only right-hand driven road in Sweden as it was only connected to Norwegian roads.
