Trøa and Dammen were 2 crofts situated just above from here, both erected around 1830. The first inhabitant in Trøa was called Morten, followed by Rasmus and Marta. Rasmus died in 1860, 78 years old. The widow stayed at the farm until about 1870, when the land was laid out for pasture.

In Dammen it is probably the same family that has lived here until the present. A recurring name here is Ola. The last Ola who was a crofter here was married to Olina from Haselvika. There were several boys from this area who found their wifes from the coastal areas around the Stjørnafjorden. The reason was probably that at that time the area had an abundance of herring,, and many of the menfolk went fishing there, – and engaged in other activities as well …

Ola and Oline bought Dammen in 1930 and the croft era came to an end. The name comes from the large pond above the houses, but the pond was converted into cultivated land.
