Vestfossen is a village in the municipality of Øvre Eiker in the county of Buskerud, Norway. Vestfossen is a former industrial city with traditions dating back to the 16th century. As of 2008 Vestfossen had a population of 2,867 according to Statistics Norway.
The development of Vestfossen and its industrial tradition started during the 1500s. At that time, the manor house known as Fossesholm became the center of a land collecting effort for the purpose of creating a large-scale sawmill industry. Later, other types of industry emerged. The most influential among them were the Fredfos Wool Factory and the Vestfos Cellulose Factory , a former paper company founded in 1886 as a pulp mill, which operated until declaring bankruptcy in 1967.
