What to see in Grindavík
Grindavík is a fishing municipality located on the Peninsula of Reykjanes, on the west coast of Iceland. It is one of the few cities that has a port in its coast, and 4 kilometers is its greatest tourist attraction, the blue lagoon (Bláa Lónið). Many of its more than 3,000 inhabitants are dedicated to working in the fishing industry.
The origin of the city dates back to the year 934 when two Vikings, Mold-Genupur Hrólfsson and þórir Vígbjóðsson colonizers arrived at the Reykjanes Peninsula. While þórir settled in Selvog, Mold-Gnupur did it in the current Grindavík. Later, the sons of Mold-Genupur established three colonies known as þórkötlustaðahverfi, Staðarhverfi and Járngerðarstaðarhverfi, being the latter where the current geographical situation of the city is based.
The municipality itself has its origin when the merchant Einar Einarsson moved there to build and direct a store in 1897. During that time the total population of the city did not exceed 400 inhabitants, but during the twentieth century an important one experienced an important Growth thanks to the development of the fishing industry during the 1950s, an activity that has traditionally been the main economic base of the people. Grindavík was declared a municipality in 1974.
