Ankenes

Ankenes is a former municipality in Nordland county, Norway.

From 1837 Ankenes constituted Ofoten formannskapsdistrikt together with the district of Evenes ("Evindnæs"). On January 1, 1884 Ofoten was split, making Ankenes and Evenes separate municipalities. Ankenes had 1 734 inhabitants at this point.
