History

The first time this fishing village was mentioned was in 1558 – 1559. Back then it had the name "Tøllen". Two fishing teams consisting of seven men in total fished from "Tøllen". A land reform was held in 1833. Its purpose was to give every farmer coherent peaces of land. This land reform emcompassed every village in the country. Until Träslövsläge got a proper harbour of its own, the boats were anchored to the islets "Rödskär" and "Svartskär". "Rödskär och Svartskär" means Red Islet and Black Islet in Swedish.

They started to build the harbour between 1876 - 1880. A harbour pier was built and a harbour depth of 5 – 6 feet was established. But this harbour only served its purpose partly. Between 1913-1922 a more significant harbour was built. Thereafter the harbour has been improved and has been rebuilt on a number of occasions.
