In Stavanger, canning factories for the production of smoked sardines in olive oil were opened, and the city again became the center of Norway, only now an industrial one. But this did not last long either. In the middle of the 20th century, all factories were closed, the city fell into decay again. The situation stabilized only by 1969 (it was then that oil was found in the Norwegian Sea). Since then, Stavanger has been growing and developing: new enterprises are being built, the population is increasing. Today this particular city is the oil capital of Norway.
