In 1853 the founder Ole Andreas Devold set out to build a society.He brought with him state-of-the-art mechanical knitting equipment and hoped to sell his wool clothes to fishermen. Devold was recognized as a quality brand and one of the largest textile factories in Norway at that time.The establishment of the Devold factory in Langevåg contributed greatly to people lives. Not only did Ole Andreas Devold create jobs, but he was also concerned with social responsibility. He established a hospital, church, kindergarten, grocery store, and built solid houses for the employees. From a population that could be counted on one hand, a small community grew up at the end of Sulafjellet in Langevåg.
