It went back to the formannskapsdistrikt (Obmannschaftsdistrikt) Nøterø , established in 1837 and called Nøtterø from 1866 to 1918 . A part of Nøtterøy (102 inhabitants) was assigned to the municipality of Tønsberg on January 1, 1877. On January 1, 1901, Håøy (north of Veierland) with 70 inhabitants was handed over by the municipality of Stokke to the municipality of Nøtterøy. On July 1, 1915, part of the municipality of Nøtterøy (12 inhabitants) was transferred to the municipality of Sem (now part of Tønsberg).

Veierland came to Nøtterøy Municipality on January 1, 1964 with 165 inhabitants, and the last border regulation so far took place on January 1, 1980, when an uninhabited part of Nøtterøy Municipality was transferred to Tønsberg Municipality.
