These conditions have made Klaksvik the most important fishery center in the islands.
Originally, there were four farms located where Klaksvik is now.
In time, they grew into four villages that finally merged to form the town of Klaksvik in 1938.
With this Klaksvik can now be considered one of its key ports poised to compete with larger terminals elsewhere.
In addition, Klaksvik is exploiting its potential as a first-class tourist destination.
