'''Nannestad''' is a [[Municipalities of Norway|municipality]] in [[Akershus]] [[Counties of Norway|county]], [[Norway]].  It is part of the [[Districts of Norway|traditional region]] of [[Romerike]].  The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of [[Teigebyen]].

==History==
Nannestad was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see [[formannskapsdistrikt]]).

[[Store norske leksikon]] writes that "At ''søndre Låke gård'' (a farm), South of Nannestad Church, [[Skule Bårdsson]] beat [[Birkebeiner|Birkebeinar]] (a political group), [... on a battlefield] South of the farm".<ref>https://snl.no/Nannestad "På søndre Låke gård, sør for Nannestad kirke, skal hertug Skule Bårdsson ha slått birkebeinerne i et slag sør for gården i 1240."</ref>

== Name and coat-of-arms==
The municipality (originally the [[parish]]) is named after the old ''Nannestad'' farm ([[Old Norse]]: ''Nannastaðir''), since the first church was built here.  The first element is the [[genitive case]] of ''Nanni'' (an old Norse male name) and the last element is ''staðir'' which means "[[Homestead (buildings)|homestead]]" or "[[farm]]".

The [[Coat of arms|coat-of-arms]] is from modern times.  They were granted in 1990.  The arms show three yellow [[Tussilago|coltsfoot]] flowers on a green background.  This is a flower that is prevalent in the area.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kommunevåpen|url=http://oddso.nvg.org/nlv/0238.html|access-date=2008-12-20|language=no}}</ref>
