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 harbor where timber could be stored and managed — a role perfectly suited to the city of 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 newfound importance to the timber trade and setting the stage for a legacy of excellence.
