It includes the towns of Sandgerði and Garður, and was created on 10 June 2018 from a merger of those two municipalities, with the name chosen by its residents the following November.[1][2] It is the location of Keflavík International Airport, the country's largest airport (serving nearby Reykjavík), and it is adjacent to the town of Keflavík, in the municipality of Reykjanesbær.
