In 1867, Ole A. Sundfer sold Røvika, which he had bought from his father-in-law in 1850. He then took up “jordkår” at Havet and moved here with his wife Ane Elisabeth, and two children.

Ole died around 1890, but Ane Elisabeth lived there until 1900. The house was then demolished – the land had already reverted to the farm.

The land that belonged to this place went from Ner-Håggån at Hjulstad and along the sea to the Hav- river. Situated across the river was Ørsebekken. Further up the river, two creek mills were reported to have existed in the 1620s.

The name Havet could originate from the older meaning of “Hav”, elevation, ie it was a place for boats/fishing gear to be brought ashore.
