The Kópavogur meeting of 1662 marked a turning point in Icelandic history as it formalized the incorporation of Iceland into the Danish-Norwegian kingdom.

The municipality maintains multiple sports facilities, including facilities for football clubs Breiðablik and HK, which compete in national championships throughout the year.

Residents access municipal services at the center on Digranesvegur 1, which operates from 8 AM to 4 PM Monday through Thursday and until 1 PM on Fridays.

Smáratorg Tower, standing as the tallest structure in Iceland, rises from the central district of Kópavogur, marking the skyline of this growing municipality.
