Sunset at Borstahusen Black&White
The fishing village was founded in 1776 when the two brothers Rasmus Andersson Borste and Jöns Andersson Borste were given permission to build their own houses along the coast. They were attracted by the rich supply of herring and soon gained several neighbors. [1] The fishing village was named after the Brush brothers and had 500 inhabitants in the early 19th century.

During the cholera epidemic that ravaged the village in 1853, a quarter of the population fell ill and 31 people died. [2] The port, which was built between 1885 and 1887, was paid for in part by the state. At the turn of the last century, there were 122 commercial fishermen with 32 boats and 49 echoes in Borstahusen as well as schooners that transported beets, limestone and cement. [1]

In 1921, Gustafsson Skeppsvarv was built in the harbor and a few years later another shipyard was built. In the early 1950s, Axel Bengtsson's Boatyard was added. In total, more than 300 boats were built in Borstahusen until the last shipyard was closed down in the 1970s. [3]
