Husavík means "the bay of houses," as legend says it was settled before the official settlement date of 874 AD. Gardar Svavarsson was a Swede who wintered in Iceland in 870 AD. According to legend and sagas, he left behind a man named Nattfari and two slaves to cultivate a farm here.

Although most tourists come to Húsavik on Skjálfanda Bay for the popular whale-watching tours, a visit to the wooden church, built in 1907, is still a must. The oldest piece in the church is the chandelier, dating from 1640. Other items, such as the altarpiece from 1931, are more recent.

The Whale Museum, founded as the Húsavík Whale Centre (Hvalamiðstöðinn Húsavíkur) in 1997, is the only whale museum in Iceland. It is a non-profit organization and offers information on the various species, including their evolution and biology, on 1,600 square meters of exhibition space. The museum also contains information on the history of Icelandic whaling, whale strandings, and the natural history of whales.
