Rekefjord

Rekefjord is a harbour village in the municipality of Sokndal in Rogaland county, Norway.

The village is located around the Rekefjorden, about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) west of the municipal centre of Hauge i Dalane.

A railway line was constructed in the 1860s for bringing ore from the Blåfjell Mines to Rekefjord for shipment.

This status gave them a monopoly on import and export of goods and materials in the port and in the surrounding district.

On 1 July 1944, Sogndal was reunited with Sokndal municipality, losing its small seaport status.
