There were 22 founding members and seven supporting members. The first chairman was elected, \u00c1g\u00fast J\u00f3hannesson. Fri\u00f0rik \u00c1rs\u00e6ll Magn\u00fasson was the chairman of the association for a long time in its early years. The association was headquartered in Keflav\u00edk. When a group of Norwegian members from a sister association of Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg came to Iceland in the summer of 1979, they visited the Southwestern Region, among other places.<\/p><p>In 1974, Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg in Keflav\u00edk participated in an exhibition for the town&#x27;s 25th anniversary and presented its activities there.<\/p><p>In April 1995, the association purchased a 350-square-meter property from Sparisj\u00f3\u00f0ur Keflav\u00edkur, the so-called &quot;Landshafnarh\u00fasi,&quot; which is located near the harbor, at a good price. The impetus for this was an inheritance the association received from one of its members, G\u00edsli G\u00edslason.<\/p><p>On Sj\u00e1lfsbj\u00f6rg&#x27;s 50th anniversary in 2009, as well as its 60th anniversary in 2019, Hafd\u00eds B.
