Serving as the breadbasket for northern Norway, this region provides seasonal fruits and vegetables for nearby marketplaces.

Like Tromso, Hammerfest became a major location for the start or end of arctic expeditions in the 19th century. In 1890, the town was one of the first in Europe to provide electric street lighting. Of course, the sun's disappearance from the sky during the arctic winter from November through February may have contributed to this distinction.
