== History ==
Archaeological finds indicate that the area has been settled for more than 4,000 years.
The modern town was founded as New or Nye-Sukkertoppen〔Walker, J. & al. "(British North America. Published under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. )" Baldwin & Cradock (London), 1834.〕〔Colton, G.W. "(Northern America. British, Russian & Danish Possessions In North America. )" J.H. Colton & Co. (New York), 1855.〕 in 1782 by Danish colonists relocating from the original Sukkertoppen, a trading post founded in 1755 at the site of present-day Kangaamiut. In time, the original name was taken up again.
In the 19th century, the town served as a major trading post for the Royal Greenland Trading Department's trade in reindeer hides.〔Kane, Elisha Kent. ''(Arctic Explorations: The Second Grinnell Expedition )''. 1856.〕
