THE HISTORY OF SIGLUFJORDUR

Siglufjordur became a village in the late 17th century when offical commerce finally started as a result of the town becoming the central shark hunting station in north of Iceland. In the 1940s and 1950s the town really grew as it became the center for the herring industry. Bringing lots of jobs to this tiny fjord, suddenly large parts of Iceland’s populations had its income tied to the small town of Siglufjordur. In 1968 the herring industy collapsed, which led to a huge decline in the town’s economy and population.

Today, Siglufjordur bases its foundations on three key elements; fishing, tourism and various supporting services for other industries.
