history

In 1372 the land belonged to the Olsberg Monastery . In the late Middle Ages, a small village came into being that fell under the rule of the city of Basel in 1461. It is believed that a conspicuous tree gave the settlement its name. The first documentary mention comes from the year 1504 as the farm by dem Nussbom.

Until 2010 Nusshof had its own primary school with multi-class lessons. After that, the school was merged with that of Wintersingen , where lessons now take place.
