Eysturoy’s Nes municipality has seen a big population spike in recent years.

This morning, the population reached 1,502, which means Nes can call itself a city.

Nes had a population of 1,279 in January 2018, which means it has increased by 223 people, or 17.4 percent, in the past five years.

The local council is preparing a special event next month to celebrate the new city status.
