Nemšová (Hungarian: Nemsó) was a Slovakian settlement in Trencsén (in
Slovakian Trenčín) in Hungary till 1918/1920 (Declaration of Martin). 1920-1939
Czechoslovakian, 1939-1945 Slovakian, and 1945-1992 Czechoslovakian. Two
villages were united with the town: Ąuborča (Hungarian: Liborcsudvard)
and Trenčianska Závada (in Hungarian Trencsénzávod)

Nemšová, (district and region Trenčín) had in its Seal its Patron Saint
Archangel Michael with winged helmet, sword and scales. But the old coat of arms
from Tatrarevue shows only scales and the sword. It was created as the
communal coat of arms in 1981 and in 1989 when it was promoted to town the symbols
remained unchanged. The new Coat of Arms of Nemšová (from an unknown year)
shows interruption of that development tendency of Slovak Heraldry. It
is Archangel Michael in a costume of an Roman soldier
(Argent in field Azure, decorations Or) Its helmet is winged. He holds
the sword and the scales and weighs the souls (so called
"psychostatis"). The flag is still unchanged.
