The town of Haugesund is situated in Rogaland, in south-western Norway. It is the base for a large herring fleet and also engages in textile weaving.

Haugesund is served by the Bergen-Stavanger hydrofoil ferry. Just north of the town is Harald's Hill, where Harald I Fairhair, first king of all Norway, supposedly is buried. The site is commemorated by a monument, erected at the millenary celebration of Harald's final victory in the Battle of Hafrsfjord.
