In popular culture: The municipality has been the main set of movies, as late as the 2020s.[9]
Name
editThe municipality (originally the parish) was originally named after the old Næsseby farm since the first Nesseby Church was built there. The first element comes from the word nes which means "headland". The last element is by which means "town". Thus it's the "town on the headland".[10] Historically, the name of the municipality was spelled Næsseby. On 3 November 1917, a royal resolution changed the spelling of the name of the municipality to Nesseby.[11]
In 1989, the municipality formally changed its name to Unjárga-Nesseby.[12] It was the second municipality in Norway to get a Sami name. This name was the old Sami name for the area. The meaning of the first element (u-) in the Sami name is unknown and the last element is njárga which means "headland". In 2005, the name was again changed, such that either Unjárga or Nesseby can be used.[13] The spelling of the Sami language name changes depending on how it is used. It is called Unjárga when it is spelled alone, but it is Unjárgga gielda when using the Sami language equivalent to "Nesseby municipality".[14]
Coat of arms
editThe coat of arms was granted on 27 June 1986. The official blazon is "Gules, a cloudberry plant Or couped at base" (Norwegian: I rødt en opprett gul molteplante). This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is a cloudberry plant (Rubus chamaemorus). The cloudberry plant has a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used. Cloudberry plants are commonly found in the municipality and the Finnmark region, growing in marshes and wet fields. The berries are collected and eaten locally as well as commercially exported to other parts of Norway. The berries are at first red, but when ripe they get a golden or orange colour, so the colour combination of yellow and red was used on the arms to represent this. The arms were designed by Arvid Sveen.[15][16][17]
History
edit
The most important winter market (during the 17th and 18th century) in Sapmi, was in present-day Nesseby municipality; in 2024, media said that archaeology has pinpointed the market to 1 km West of Karlebotn.[18]
Wild reindeer used to cross the isthmus in prehistoric times until the year 1900, causing extensive human activity throughout the millennia. Therefore, the area is full of archeological finds from different periods.
Establishment of a municipality
editThe municipality of Nesseby was originally established in 1839 a year after the formannskapsdistrikt law went into effect. The large Vadsø landdistrikt municipality was divided and the western portion became Nesseby Municipality. Initially, there were 598 residents. This was short-lived, however, since the two were merged back together in 1858. On 1 January 1864, Nesseby Municipality was re-created from the western district of Vadsø landdistrikt. The initial population (this time) was 886. On 1 January 1903, the western part of Nesseby Municipality (population: 450) was separated to form the new Polmak Municipality.[19]
On 1 January 2020, the municipality became part of the newly formed Troms og Finnmark county. Previously, it had been part of the old Finnmark county.[20] On 1 January 2024, the Troms og Finnmark county was divided and the municipality once again became part of Finnmark county.[21]
Economy
editIn 2013, 26% of jobs of in the municipality were within the health sector and social sector; 8% were within education; there were 373 jobs in the municipality.[22] The hydroelectric power station, Gandvik kraftverk produces [around] 20.1 gigawatt-hours (72 TJ) (as of 2021).[23]
Commercial fish processing has been going on at Kløvnes since 2017.[24]
The innermost marina in the Varanger Fjord (Kløvnes havn near Nesseby Church) is operating at full capacity - 32 vessels; many of those are fishing vessels.[24]
Geography
editThe municipality is situated on the isthmus between the Varangerfjord and the Tana River at the entrance to the Varanger Peninsula. All the people live in small settlements along the fjord. Varangerhalvøya National Park is partially located in the park. The river Jakobselva partially forms the border between Nesseby Municipality and Vadsø Municipality to the northeast. The highest point in the municipality is the 520-metre (1,710 ft) tall mountain Midthaugen.[1]
Birdlife
editThe municipality of Unjárga-Nesseby is known for its interesting birding localities and is mentioned in several birding guide books. Other than the Varangerford, the main habitat is tundra with areas of bog and marsh. One species that can usually be seen on small ponds during the summer months is the red-necked phalarope.
