Other villages include Framverran, Gangstadhaugen, Hylla, Kjerknesvågen, Kjerringvik, Røra, Sakshaug, Sandvollan, Småland, Trongsundet, Utøy, Vangshylla, and Venneshamn.

The municipality is primarily an agricultural community, but also has some industry. On 1 January 2012, the neighboring municipality of Mosvik was merged into Inderøy. This added about 800 more residents to the municipality, bringing the total population to 6,716 people.

Inderøy was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). On 1 January 1907, the eastern district of Røra (population: 866) and the northern district of Sandvollan (population: 732) were both separated from Inderøy to form municipalities of their own. This left Inderøy with 2,976 residents. On 1 January 1962, both districts were merged back into Inderøy. Prior to the merger, Inderøy had 3,194 residents, and after the merger there were 4,947 residents. On 1 January 2012, the neighboring municipality of Mosvik was merged into Inderøy.
