Nes og Hitterø or Hitterø og Nes is a former municipality that was located in the old Vest-Agder county in Norway. It was located in the southwestern part of the present-day municipality of Flekkefjord in Agder county. It encompassed the Nes peninsula and the island of Hidra (formerly called Hitterø). The 240-square-kilometre (93 sq mi) municipality existed from 1838 until its dissolution in 1893. The administrative centre of the municipality was the small village of Sunde in Nes parish, located just outside the town of Flekkefjord (which was its own separate municipality).[3]
