History
The parish of Næs was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt law). 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: 4,184) was merged with the municipality of Furnes (population: 7,288), the municipality of Ringsaker (population: 16,490), and the Hamarsberget and Vikersødegården areas of the municipality of Vang (population: 34) to create the new, larger Ringsaker Municipality.[3]
Name
The municipality was named after the old Nes farm (Old Norse: Nes) where the first Nes Church was located. The name is identical with the word nes which means "headland".[4]
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 was governed by a municipal council of elected representatives, which in turn elected a mayor.[5]
