General information

Nesna was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). The western island district of Nesna (population: 1,348) was separated from Nesna on 1 July 1888 to form the new municipality of Dønnes. This left Nesna with 2,958 residents. On 1 January 1919, the Bardalssjøen farm (population: 4) was transferred from Hemnes Municipality to Nesna Municipality. In 1945, a small area of southern Nesna (population: 26) was transferred to Leirfjord Municipality.

During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1962, part of the island of Løkta (population: 80) was transferred from Nesna to the new Dønna Municipality and part of the island of Tomma (population: 80) was transferred from the old municipality of Dønnes to Nesna Municipality. Then on 1 January 1964, the Bardalssjøen area of Nesna, located south of the Ranfjorden, was transferred to Leirfjord Municipality. On that same date, the part of Nesna around the inner part of the Sjona fjord was transferred to Rana Municipality. [5]

Name

The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Nesna farm (Old Norse : Nesnar) since the first Nesna Church was built there. The name is derived from the word nes which means "headland". [6] Historically, the name of the municiaplity was spelled Nesne. On 6 January 1908, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Nesna. [7]

Coat of arms

The coat of arms was granted on 23 June 1989. The official blazon is "Per chevron inverted Or and Azure" (Norwegian : Delt av gull og blått ved omvendt sparresnitt). This means the arms have a field (background) that is divided by a line in the form of an inverted chevron pattern. The background above the line has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. The background below the line has a tincture of azure. The arms are a canting of the name of the municipality (Nesna comes form nes which means headland in Norwegian). The arms show a yellow-colored "headland" or peninsula surrounded by blue water. The arms were designed by Jarle E. Henriksen. [8] [9] [10] [11]
