History
View of the Nes Church

The municipality of Nes was established on 1 January 1899 when the old municipality of Bjugn was split into three separate municipalities: Bjugn (population: 1,256), Skjørn (population: 2,166), and Nes (population: 1,285). During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the municipality of Nes (population: 1,107) was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Bjugn (population: 1,240), Jøssund (population: 1,917), and the northern part of Stjørna (population: 676) to form a new, larger municipality of Bjugn.[3]

Government

All municipalities in Norway, including Nes, are responsible for primary education (through 10th grade), outpatient health services, senior citizen services, unemployment and other social services, zoning, economic development, and municipal roads. The municipality is governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elects a mayor.[4]
