Neskaupstaður
(Redirected from Fjardabyggd)
Neskaupstaður is a town located the fjord "Norðfjörður" on the eastern shore of Iceland. As of 2005 it has 1,534 inhabitants. It suffered severe depopulation in the 1990s, but is now experiencing a turn of the tide as a result of the building of an aluminium factory and a new hydroelectric power-plant in East Iceland.
Neskaupstaður joined Eskifjörður and Reyðarfjörður in 1998 to form a new principality called Fjarðabyggð ("fjords-settlement").
