The spit of land Langeyjarnes and the islands Inner and Outer Langey and Arney belong to the Dalir District and extend to the southwest from the Klofningur County.  The first source to mention Island Arney is the Sturlunga Saga, when two of the chieftains of the 13^th century had an encounter.  The channel Arneyjarsund is mentioned in this context.  It is the main route between the islands Bildsey, Arney and Fagurey and never dries up during lowest tides.  Farming was considerable on Island Arney during the centuries and for a long while it was the property of Farm Skard as so many other islands and islets in the area.  In 1705, 19 people occupied three farms.  Two years later there were 15 inhabitants at two farms, which kept 8 heads of cattle and 45 sheep.  In 1920, nine people lived on the island and permanent residence continued until after the middle of the 20^th century.  Since then the houses have been maintained and the owners have spent time there during summer.  The island is rich in topographical names, but few stories are connected with them.  There are, however, quite a few stories about the elves or the hidden people and their communications with the human inhabitants.
