一、人口，面积
The municipalities of Iceland are local administrative areas in Iceland that provide a number of services to their inhabitants such as kindergartens, elementary schools, waste management, social services, public housing, public transportation, services to senior citizens and disabled people. They also govern zoning and can voluntarily take on additional functions if they have the budget for it. The autonomy of municipalities over their own matters is guaranteed by the Icelandic constitution.
Árnessýsla was one of the counties of Iceland. Counties are no longer an administrative unit in Iceland, but the name is still used to refer to the area. Árnessýsla is located in the South between Þjórsá in the east and Hellisheiði in the west but reached west over Svínahraun, down under Gunnarshólmur. The area is characterized by agriculture and tourism, which are the main industries.
In the lower part of the county is the so-called Flóinn, a swamp area between Þjórsá, Hvítá (below Ölfusá) and the shore. Above is drier and mountainous inland. Þingvallavatn, the largest lake in the country, is in the county, as well as well-known tourist destinations such as Gullfoss, Geysir, Þingvellir and Þjórsárdalur. The county derives its name from the island Árnes in Þjórsá where parliaments were held in ancient times.
二、自然地理
1.地理条件
Árnes is an island in Þjórsá, which divides the river into two eels, the main river flowing to the west and the smaller river flowing to the east. Once upon a time, Árnes was landlocked to the west, but the river made its way through the ocean sometime after the settlement and then became Búðafoss. To the east of the island is Hestafoss. In Árnes you can see the ruins of parliament and also west of the river in the land of Minna-Hof. It is believed that the Árnessýsla parliament was there at the time, but the county derives its name from the island.
三、经济发展和规模
The Árborg store has a 32-year business history and is the first company to use the name "Árborg". On April 1, 1988, the couple Gunnar Egilsson and Sigrún Halldórsdóttir took over the operation and have run Verslunin Árborg since then, first in collaboration with Olíufélagið hf / ESSO until 2007, and then N1 ehf. In 1994, the house was enlarged. As a result, a barbecue was set up with restaurants and wine licenses. The restaurants and especially the burgers have enjoyed great popularity, but it is worth mentioning that Gunnar worked as a chef in previous years.

On the 17th of June in the year 2000, an earthquake that swept all over the South came with great destruction and Verslunin Árborg was not excluded, considerable damage was done to the store as can be seen from the pictures on this page.
Today there is a good selection of products in the store and you can get most groceries. A variety of menu menus and freshly baked pastries are served daily.

During the Suðurlandsskjálftan in 1896, the church stood on one of the houses in Stóra-Núpi, so the priest had to move with his family to the church. Reverend Valdimar Briem lived at Stóra-Núpi. This church lasted until December 29, 1908, or for 32 years, when it collapsed and shattered. The present church was built in 1909 according to drawings by Rögnvaldur Ólafsson. Gestur Einarsson á Hæli was in charge of the construction of the church and hired Bjarni Jónsson from Galtafell as head carpenter and Ásgrím Jónsson to paint the altarpiece. A monument was erected on September 4, 1988 for Mr. Valdimar Briem, war bishop and poet made by Helgi Gíslason. A new organ was brought to the church on its 80th anniversary, made by Björvin Tómasson, organ builder.
六、历史文化
1.历史
Árnes is a unique example of a home and lifestyle in early 20th century Iceland. The small wooden house, built at the end of the 19th century, is mostly in its original shape and structure. The furniture is from the local heritage museum or borrowed from other museums, and some items belonged to the former inhabitants of the house.
Skagaströnd is an ancient trading post, but the village has been built around the fishing industry. Although the Danish trade was throughout the monopoly period, no settlement grew around it, but with the increasing fishing industry, villages began to form. When mechanization began in the fishing industry around 1920, there was growth in urbanization in the area in connection with motorboat fishing and land processing of marine catch. When the construction of a herring factory began in 1945-46, the number of people increased greatly and there was great optimism about development and progress. There was some herring processing for a while, both salting of plans and smelting in the factory. The herring, on the other hand, disappeared for the most part from the North shortly afterwards and thus never became the growth spurt that was expected. In the years 1950-70, there was little rural development, but with trawling, which began in 1969, optimism grew again and with increased employment both at sea and in land processing, the population increased. During the years 1973-1983, there was considerable growth in house construction and street construction. Although the performance in the fisheries sector was very good with the introduction of freezer trawler fishing in the 1980s, there was not a direct increase in employment opportunities and from the 1990s onwards the land processing of marine products began to decline and that processing gradually ceased.
There are not many stories from the beginning of settlement in these parts, but Landnáma tells the story of the settlers on Skaga, Hólmgöngur-Máni and Eilífi-Erni, who settled land north of Skaga and on the east side. On the other hand, Landnáma says nothing about settlement where Skagaströnd stands. However, it is generally assumed that the western part of Skagi was completed long before the Settlement was written.
In the second half of the 10th century, Þórdís, a fortune teller, lived on the farm Spákonufell. She is mentioned in Kormákssaga and Vatndælasaga and also in folktales and it is said that she was very knowledgeable and therefore various legends. Most amusing, however, is the story of Þórdís' riches, which are said to have been hidden in a coffin and placed on a rock ledge in Spákonufellsborg, and that she said "that the woman should acquire the coffin and all the riches that were in it, which were so raised. , that she was neither baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity, nor taught any good title of god, and then the treasures would lie loose before her, and she would be able to open the coffin slowly. But to everyone else, the coffin should look like a rock and a rock outcrop, where the key would be "Few stories go by the gold and probably no one has got it, as the conditions of the prophetess herself are quite strict and even possible that they have distorted something in the treatment of generations in ten centuries and therefore the chest of gold no longer responds to any stimulus. Spákonufellsborg is, however, an extremely beautiful mountain and a fun ascent.
From ancient times there was a trading place at Spákonufellshöfði and it was called Höfðakaupstaður or Höfði. Danish merchants named it Skagestrand and took up the name of the coastline itself and it was not the only time that the naming practice of Danish merchants worked in this country. When the monopoly trade came into being in 1602, Skagaströnd became one of its trading posts, but that trade gradually declined in the 19th century after the freedom of trade was established and new trading posts arose.
