Garður

Garður (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkarðʏr̥] ) is a town in southwestern Iceland on the Southern Peninsula, bordered by the Faxaflói Bay. It is part of the municipality of Suðurnesjabær, formed in 2018 when it merged with Sandgerði.

The town's name means garden or yard, after one of the many earthen walls once erected on the boundaries between local properties. Garður was mentioned in the Book of Settlement when Ingólfur Arnarson, the first settler in Iceland, gave his cousin Steinunn Gamla this area of land.
