==History==
There is evidence of settlement in Farsund and Lista since the [[Stone Age]].

Farsund held a strategic location in the [[Festung Norwegen|Atlantic wall]] during [[World War II]], with the [[Lundebanen]] and over 400 [[bunker]]s built in Farsund municipality, many that can be visited. Between 1940 and 1945, large Soviet prison camps were located at [[Lista]], with prison camps at Kåde and [[Ore, Farsund|Ore]] holding over 600 prisoners. The Soviet prisoners were used as forced labour to build [[Farsund Airport, Lista|Farsund Airport]], bunkers, barracks, and fortifications .<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sovjetiske krigsfanger |url=http://www.sovjetiske-krigsfanger.no/filer/pfd_sovjetiske_krigsfanger/1.krigsfanger_sorlandet.pdf}}</ref>
