General information

The famous Mardalsfossen waterfall –the inspiration for the municipal flag and coat of arms.

The parish of Nesset was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). On 1 January 1890, Nesset Municipality was divided. All of Nesset Municipality that was located south of the Langfjorden (population: 2,155) was separated to form the new Eresfjord og Vistdal Municipality and the rest of Nesset Municipality (population: 1,706) remained as Nesset Municipality. [3]

On 1 January 1877, the Sotnakken farm on the Romsdal peninsula (population: 19) was transferred from Nesset Municipality to the neighboring Bolsøy Municipality. Also on that date, the Tiltereidet and Meisalstranda areas (population: 212) of Tingvoll Municipality, along the west coast of the Tingvollfjorden, were transferred to Nesset Municipality. On 1 January 1890, the Bersås, Nævergjeld, Rausandhaugen, and Rausand areas (population: 101) was transferred from Tingvoll Municipality (along the Tingvollfjorden) to Nesset Municipality.[3]

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, Eresfjord og Vistdal Municipality (population: 1,289) was merged back into Nesset Municipality (population: 2,360).[3]

On 1 January 2020, Nesset Municipality merged with the neighboring Molde Municipality and Midsund Municipality to form a much larger Molde Municipality.[4]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Nesset farm and vicarage (Template:Langx, spelled "Nødesetter" in 1520) since this is where the old Nesset Church was located. The first element is Template:Wikt-lang which means "headland". This is because the old farm is lying on a prominent headland between the Langfjorden and the Tingvollfjorden. The last element is Template:Wikt-lang or Template:Wikt-lang which means "seter" or "mountain farm". Prior to 1889, the name was written Næsset.[5]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 10 March 1986 and they were in use until the municipality was dissolved on 1 January 2020. The official blazon is "Azure, a pale offset argent, base to dexter" (Template:Langx). This means the arms have a blue field (background) and the charge is a pale that is offset. The pale has a tincture of argent which means it is commonly colored white, but if it is made out of metal, then silver is used. The offset pale symbolizes the two stage drop on one of Europe's highest waterfalls, the Mardalsfossen, which is located in the municipality. The arms were designed by Olav Sandø, from Eidsvåg. The municipal flag has the same design as the coat of arms.[6][7][8][9]

Churches

The Church of Norway had four parishes (Script error: No such module "Lang".) within Nesset Municipality. It was part of the Indre Romsdal prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Møre.

Geography

View of Boggestranda

The municipality was made up mostly of the Eikesdalen valley which surrounds the lake Eikesdalsvatnet. The lake is fed from the lake Aursjøen on the border of Oppland county. The water then flows through the Aura River into the lake Eikesdalsvatnet. That water then flows into the river Eira and then on to the Eresfjorden, a branch of the Langfjorden which itself is a branch off the great Romsdal Fjord. The mountains Skjorta, Fløtatinden, and Gjuratinden surround the main valley. The highest point in the municipality was the Script error: No such module "convert". tall mountain Høgbøra, near the southern border with Rauma Municipality.[32]

Birdlife

From the shores of the fjord, to the towering mountains at Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level, the rural community of Nesset offers the visiting birder a range of habitats, and several interesting areas. One area worth checking is Eidsvågleirene. Though the selection of species will not be high, several of the commoner species can be found. The grey heron and mallard are characteristic species in the area.
