History
Due to Tórshavn’s central location, the Faroes’ first Ting (parliament) was set up here in AD 1000, but poor soils meant that the town remained relatively small until 1856. However, once the Danish trading monopoly was replaced by free trade, Tórshavn rapidly evolved into the islands’ main trading hub. It has been growing ever since.
