The village Vogar started developing early in the 20th
century, when better and larger harbours for the larger
fishing vessels were needed. Around the turn of the 19th century the number of inhabitants
in Vogar was greater than in the neighbouring villages, Keflavik and Grindavik
together. There are a few interesting hiking trails in the village area and the
nature around it is highly interesting. The country’s strongest man, Jon
Danielsson, lived in the village. He is said to have carried a big and a
heavy boulder into the village. Now it stands as his monument by the
school.
