Akureyri's origins trace back to around AD 890 when an Irish Viking, Helgi Magri Eyvindarson, settled there. It's not an exact "founding" date, but that's the earliest record we got

Helgi Magri Eyvindarson was an Irish Viking who settled in Iceland around AD 890. Known as "the Lean," he’s one of the first recorded settlers in the Akureyri area, claiming land near Eyjafjörður Fjord. Pretty OG Viking vibes
