Areas with agriculture were also widespread, but most of the municipality was covered in forests and mountains where the wildlife ruled with animals such as moose and reindeer.

The moose are sometimes seen in the heart of Leksvik and Vanvikan, where modern downtown areas with commercial and residential developments are growing.

On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Leksvik, removing the definite form ending -en.

The official blazon is "Per chevron embowed azure and argent point ending in trefoil" (Norwegian: I blått en innbøyd sølv spiss som ender i et kløverblad).

This means the arms have a field (background) that is divided by a line in the shape of a chevron with curved sides that meet at a point.

Leksvik Municipality was located on the eastern side of the Fosen peninsula along the coast of Trondheimsfjorden.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Leksvik was made up of 25 representatives that were elected to four year terms.

Here is a list of people who held this position:[32] The first inhabitants are believed to have moved to Leksvik some 3,000 years ago.

On Borgen, there is a hill between Hindrem and Seter that may have been a great Viking fortress, but this could also be tracks made by the glaciers during the last ice age.

In more modern history, Leksvik and Hindrem are small and relatively isolated villages, north of Trondheim Fjord.

But as a small and isolated village, nothing of great importance happened there during the war, and it was mostly peaceful although bombs fell over Trondheim, on the south side of the fjord.
