Hydroelectric power brought industry to Hoyanger in the early twentieth century. The aluminium smelter, built by what became Norsk Hydro, operated from 1917 and shaped the town around the Sognefjord shoreline. About 2,051 people live here in Vestland. The rivers dropping from the mountains into the fjord provided the energy that made smelting viable in such a remote location.
The smelter closed its primary aluminium production in 2006 after nearly ninety years. Remaining industrial activity and public sector employment now sustain the local economy. The town's planned residential areas, built for factory workers in a distinctive functionalist style during the 1930s, still form the core of Hoyanger's streetscape and have been proposed for heritage protection.
Express boats on the Sognefjord connect Hoyanger to Bergen and other fjord communities. The surrounding mountains rise steeply from the water, and waterfalls drop from hanging valleys above the town.
