Nes is a former municipality located in the old Vest-Agder county in Norway. The Script error: No such module "convert". municipality existed from 1893 until its dissolution in 1965. The municipality is located in the southwestern part of the present-day municipality of Flekkefjord. Its administrative centre was the village of Nes, located just outside the town of Flekkefjord.[1]
History
The municipality of Nes was established on 8 October 1893 when the old municipality of Nes og Hitterø was split into two: Nes and Hitterø. At the time of the split, Nes had a population of 1,704. In 1942, a part of Nes with 377 inhabitants was moved to the neighboring town of Flekkefjord.[2]
In the 1960s, there were major municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1965, the municipality of Nes was dissolved and its lands were merged with the neighboring municipalities of Hidra, Bakke, and Gyland and the town of Flekkefjord to form a new, larger municipality of Flekkefjord. Prior to the merger, Nes had a population of 2,757.[2]
Name
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Nes farm (Template:Langx) since the first local church (now called Flekkefjord Church) was built there. The name is identical to the word Template:Wikt-lang which means "peninsula", since the farm is located on a peninsula.[3]
Government
While it existed, this municipality was responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment, social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. During its existence, this municipality was governed by a municipal council of directly elected representatives. The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.[4]
