==History== This type of boat has been very common in the outer regions of Hordaland for hundreds of years. It was named after the major important building site for this type of boat during the 18th century, at the mouth of the Oselva River in Os Municipality in Hordaland county. In the early 1800s, boat building was an important industry in Os Municipality and the neighboring Tysnes Municipality, on the other side of the fjord. The stylized figure of an Oselvar appears on the coat of arms of the old Os Municipality.
