==History==
Vestfossen is a former industrial town with traditions dating back to
the 16th century. At that time, the manor house known as Fossesholm became the center of a land collecting effort for the purpose of creating a large-scale sawmill industry. Later, other types of industry emerged. The most influential among them were the textile factory of Fredfos Uldvarefabrik and the Vestfossen Cellulose, a former paper company founded in 1886 as a pulp mill, which declared bankrupt in 1967.〔(''Vestfos Cellulosefabrik''(Store norske leksikon) )〕
An industrial crisis which occurred around 1970 lead to the fall of these factories, and large parts of the local industrial infrastructure was unused for a long time. After the year 2000, a cultural effort led to the establishment of several cultural institutions here, most notably the contemporary art gallery of Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium founded by artist Morten Viskum. Vestfossen now calls itself "the capital of culture". As of 2008 Vestfossen had a population of 2,867 according to Statistics Norway.〔(''Vestfossen'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕〔(''Vestfossen Kunstlaboratorium'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕
