The depletion of easily accessible timber close to the shore forced a significant change. To protect this valuable resource, the King of Norway imposed supervision and fees on tree-cutting activities. As the timber supply near the coast dwindled, the loggers ventured further inland along the fjords, giving rise to the profession of log rafting. This new trade required a natural harbor where timber could be stored and managed — a role perfectly suited to Arendal.
Arendal’s natural harbor became a bustling hub, a place where timber was gathered, controlled, and eventually shipped to eager customers across Europe. The city’s name, “Arendell,” first appeared in documents from 1528, marking its importance in the timber trade and setting the stage for a legacy of excellence.
