Stavanger is a city and municipality in the county of Rogaland in southwest Norway. Stavanger was founded in 1125. It grew into a centre of civic administration and an important south-west coast market town around 1150-1200. With the reformation in 1536, it's role as a religious centre declined. Rich herring fisheries in the 19th century gave the city new life. The city's history is a continuous alternation between upswings and recessions. The city and its surroundings is deeply rooted in religion and Christian life, and for long periods of time its most important industries have been shipping, shipbuilding and the canning industry. In 1969 a new upswing started as oil was first discovered in the North Sea. After much discussion Stavanger was chosen to be the on-shore center for the oil industry on the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. In 2003 Norway was the world's 3rd largest exporter of crude oil.
