A small boatyard, J M Kleivset Båtbyggeri,[4] formerly operated in Klevset. Among other vessels, it built three smacks for use by priests in the reconstruction of Finnmark after the Second World War.[5][6]
The settlement was attested as Klauset in the 16th century[7][8] and Kleffßett in 1590 (as well as Kleffset in 1667 and Klefset in 1723).[9] The name is probably derived from Old Norse *kleif 'cliff', referring to its location below a steep hill.[9]
