NESNA, NORWAY

September 11, 2007

We arrived at Nesna, (1.900 population). We docked for 15min. The town was so small that I did not need to leave the boat. I can see the whole town from the ferry.

Nesna is a municipality in the county of Nordland, Norway.

Nesna was established as a municipality January 1, 1838. Dønna was separated from Nesna July 1, 1888.

The municipality is divided on three islands (Tomma,Hugla and Handnesøya) and one peninsula that bears the name of the municipality. The Coastal Express arrives two times a day, the Northbound arrives 05:30 and the Southbound 11:15. Nesna peninsula is also home to Nordlands education center Nesna University College, and there is also an high school KVN High School.

The coat-of-arms is from modern times (1989). It shows a conventionalized headland
