 Haugesund
is a town and municipality in the county of Rogaland, Norway. Haugesund
was separated from Torvastad as a town and municipality of its own in 1855.
The rural municipality of Skåre was merged with Haugesund 1 January
1958. Haugesund is a small municipality, only 73 km². The population
is 33,022, giving the municipality a population density of 459 people per
km².
The town is situated at a strategically
important sound through which ships could pass without heavy sea. In the
early years the coastal waters of Haugesund were a huge source of herring,
and the town grew accordingly. Despite being barely a village back then,
king Harald Fairhair lived on Avaldsnes, very close to the modern town
of Haugesund. In the last decades, the town, like its neighbours, has been
turning towards the petroleum industry, the herring being long gone.
Haugesund is a cultural centre for
its region, and is home to several festivals, the largest being the Norwegian
International Film Festival and Sildajazz, an international jazz festival
with approximately 70 bands and close to 200 concerts. |
