A small boatyard, J.M. Kleivset Båtbyggeri,^[5] formerly operated in Klevset. Among other vessels, it built three smacks for use by priests in the reconstruction of Finnmark after the Second World War.^[6][7]

The settlement was attested as Klauset in the 16th century^[8][9] and Kleffßett in 1590 (as well as Kleffset in 1667 and Klefset in 1723).^[10] The name is probably derived from the Old Norse word kleif which means 'cliff', referring to its location below a steep hill.^[10]
