Hofshreppur, previously Höfðastrandarhreppur, was a hreppur, an old Icelandic municipality, in Skagafjörður county, Iceland, located on the east side of the main part of the fjord.[1] It was named after the church site Hof in Höfðaströnd.[2]
The old trading post Hofsós was made into its own Icelandic: hreppur on January 1, 1948. On June 19, 1990, Hofshreppur and Fellshreppur, located to the north, merged into a single municipality. Hofshreppur then comprised land all the way north to Fljót.[3]
On June 6, 1998, Hofshreppur joined ten other local governments to form Skagafjörður county: Skefilsstaðahreppur, Sauðárkrókur, Skarðshreppur, Staðarhreppur, Seyluhreppur, Lýtingsstaðahreppur, Rípurhreppur, Viðvíkurhreppur, Hólahreppur, and Fljótahreppur.[4]
