== History ==
The settlement was founded as a trading post for Jacob Severin's company in 1734〔Marquardt, Ole. "(Change and Continuity in Denmark's Greenland Policy )" in ''The Oldenburg Monarchy: An Underestimated Empire?''. Verlag Ludwig (Kiel), 2006.〕 and named Christianshaab in honor of King Christian VI of Denmark.〔Del, Anden. "(''Grønland som del af den bibelske fortælling – en 1700-tals studie'' )" (as Part of the Biblical Narrative – a Study of the 18th-Century" ). 〕 The name was sometimes anglicized as Christian's Hope.〔i.a., Lieber, Francis & al. ''Encyclopædia Americana: A Popular Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature, History, Politics and Biography''. "(Greenland )". B.B. Mussey & Co., 1854.〕
Paul Egede's former residence is Greenland's oldest surviving wooden building. It was completed on 25 July 1734 and moved to its present site in 1806 owing to the heavy wind at its original location across the bay. In 1997, a museum was officially opened in the Egede house. In the summer of 1999, an archaeological discovery provided the museum with a collection of finds from different prehistoric cultures.〔(Museum ).〕
