Húnavatnshreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈhuːnaˌvasːˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥] ) is a former rural municipality located in northwestern Iceland.
History
The municipality was formed on 1 January 2006 by the union of the former municipalities of Sveinsstaðahreppur [ˈsveinsˌstaːðaˌr̥ehpʏr̥], Torfalækjarhreppur [ˈtʰɔrvaˌlaiːcar̥ˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥], Svínavatnshreppur [ˈsviːnaˌvasːˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥] and Bólstaðarhlíðarhreppur [ˈpoulˌstaːðarˌl̥iːðar̥ˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥]. In 2022, the municipality merged with Blönduós to form Húnabyggð.[1]
