History
The village name was formerly spelled Ladhella, which includes the word lada, translating to loading or unloading vessels. The last section, -hella, most likely referred to the flat mountains. Lahelle first gained importance in the 1800s when shipyards were established at Lahelle. The shipyard was utilized primarily for repair and construction of sailing ships. For a limited time, it also became a regular port of call for steamships. Lahelle is also where the Gokstad Ship was moved onto barges in 1880 and transported to Kristiania.[5]
