 Klabböle Kraftverk is now a museum located at Ume River's south bank, below the village of Klabböle, about upstream from Umeå.In the 1500s there was a water mill in Klabböleforsen which was used for grinding flour and for powering a saw.A steam-powered plant was located in the centre of Umeå, but by 1892 it needed to be replaced and the city agreed to use the rapids to build a hydroelectric plant in 1897.
