History


The municipality of Nærbø was established in 1894 when the old municipality of Hå was split in half into Varhaug and Nærbø. Initially, Nærbø had 1,806 residents. During the 1960s, there were many municipal mergers across Norway due to the work of the Schei Committee. On 1 January 1964, the three neighboring municipalities of Nærbø (population: 3,926), Varhaug (population: 3,454), and Ogna (population: 1,470) were merged to form the new Hå Municipality (resurrecting the name of the old municipality that was dissolved in 1894).[3]


Government


All municipalities in Norway, including Nærbø, 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]
