Kópavogur

Kópavogur is Iceland’s second largest municipality and is a part of the Greater Reykjavík Area. The name “Kópavogur” literally means seal pup bay.

Early in the 20th century there was no real settlement in the area but then in 1936 the authorities began handing out new terrain on the peninsula and little by little a large number of people had settled in Kópavogur. The town has grown steadily and fast ever since.
