    Sevelen (mentioned in 1160 as "Sevellin")
    Sevelen belongs to the Werdenberg district and includes, in addition to the village of Sevelen, the hamlets of Rans/Oberräfis, St. Ulrich, and the Sevelerberg. The place name Sevelen was first mentioned in a document from the Pfäfers Monastery from 1160 as "Sevellin." The name is presumably of Alemannic origin and means something like "by the ponds, by the pools." The village of Rans appears to be significantly older than Sevelen. The name "Rannes" appears in the Churrätian Imperial Urbar as early as 842/43.
    Three archaeological sites (Sonnenbühl, Geissberg, and Dachsenboden) are known in the municipality of Sevelen, indicating settlement from 4000 to 1800 BC. In 15 BC, a Roman settlement was established. In 300 AD, our region was conquered by the Romans and incorporated into the Roman province of Raetia (20 AD). Around 300 AD, the province was divided in two, with Sevelen becoming part of "Raetia prima." Around 1255, Bishop Henry of Chur had Herrenberg Castle built on the Storchenbühl in Sevelen; only a remnant of the wall remains today.
    In 1803, Napoleon replaced the centralized Helvetic Republic constitution with the Act of Mediation. This marked the birth of the Canton of St. Gallen. The former bailiwick of Werdenberg was incorporated into the Sargans district. It wasn't until 1831, when the Canton of St. Gallen received a new constitution, that the Werdenberg district was created in its current form.
    Around 1870, the embroidery industry established itself in Werdenberg. In 1887, the English firm Lindsay, Thompson & Company opened an embroidery shop in Widen. Werdenberg subsequently developed into a true center of the embroidery industry. Growing foreign competition and changes in fashion led to a rapid decline in embroidery after the First World War and high unemployment. With the opening of a branch of the German lamp factory Temde in 1933 and the Sevelen cloth factory in 1936, a total of 80 new jobs were created.
