In “The Book of Settlement” (Landnámabók), an ancient detailed account of the settlement of the island, Iceland is said to have had its first permanent resident, a chieftain named Ingólfur Arnarson, in AD 874. After him many Norsemen visited the island, staying for the winters. Later, more Norsemen relocated permanently and brought with them Gaelic slaves. Iceland mostly relied on fisheries and agriculture but joined the European Economic Area in 1994, allowing their economy to diversify into financial and economic services. Today Iceland stands as one of the most developed nations in the world.Iceland’s capital city and the world’s northernmost capital city, Reykjavík, is the heart of the county’s economic and governmental activity.
