The area has been used for a long time, and one has, among other things, found traces of Stone Age people who hunted and Vikings who collected iron ore. In the 1980s, the area became home to Northern Europe's largest hydropower development. Ulla-Førre, who has seen Suldal on the map as a power giant, accounts for 8% of annual power production in Norway. Today, the area is used as open pasture for sheep and is a hub for good experiences in the Ryfylke hills.
