Nuuk (Greenlandic for “The Cape”) is Greenland’s capitol, its largest municipality, and one of the largest towns in the Arctic region. Nuuk was founded by Norwegian missionary Hans Egede in 1728 and was originally named “Godthab”. With a population of approximately 13,500 the town is also the center of trade, shipping, industry, education, and administration for Greenland. In 1847 the Greenland Teachers College was built and today the town is also home to “Ilisimatusarfik” (University of Greenland). Most of the largest industries are headquartered in the town as well as the Greenland Cultural Center, the Institute of Natural Resources, Greenland’s Parliament, Law Court, the National Library, and the National Museum.
