Encyclopedic overview
Mo i Rana (Norwegian; pronounced [ˈmuː ɪ ˈrɑ̀ːnɑ]) or Måefie (Southern Sami) (and unofficially Ume Sami: Måhvie, Northern Sami: Muoffie) is a city, and the administrative centre of Rana Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the Helgeland region of Nordland, just south of the Arctic Circle. Some of the city's suburbs include Båsmoen and Ytteren in the north, Gruben in the south east, Selfors in the east, and Åga/Hauknes/Dalsgrenda in the south.
The name "Mo i Rana" (English: Mo in Rana) is used to distinguish it from other places named Mo (including the town of Mosjøen, also located in Helgeland). The city's postal address was "Mo 8600" until 1999, when it was changed to "Mo i Rana 8600". Today, the postal address is "8622 Mo i Rana".
