History
The village was first mentioned in 1369 as Nesse and means headland. Nes is a terp (artificial living mound) village from the early middle ages with a rectangular structure with three paths. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 12th century, and the tower was added slightly later. The building was restored in 1974.
In 1840, Nes was home to 538 people.
