History

Våland was populated around the 18th century. Its highest point is the {{convert|84|m|adj=on}} tall Våland tower. Before today's tower was built, there supposedly stood a watchtower at the area. It was called Vålandspibå ({{lang|no|the Våland pipe}}), a name still used for the tower.{{Cite web |title=Vålandspipa-Våglandsborga |url=https://digitaltmuseum.no/021018268309/valandspipa-valandsborga |access-date=2020-09-05 |publisher=Digital Museum |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Vålandstarnet |url=https://www.stavanger.kommune.no/kultur-og-fritid/kultur/valandstarnet/ |access-date=2020-09-05 |website=Stavanger kommune |language=Norwegian}}
