Since 1919
Fótboltafélag Ísafjarðar was founded in 1914 and was active for ten years. All 12 founding members of Hörður in 1919 had previously played for it. The same year Fótboltafélagið Hvöt was also founded — the country's first women's football club — which lasted two years; women did not take up football again until half a century later.
Knattspyrnufélagið Hörður was founded in Ísafjörður. The first chairman was Þórhallur Leósson and the treasurer was Dagbjartur Sigurðsson. 12 founding members were listed in later anniversary articles.
The club's first official match (football) was against Fótboltafélag Ísafjarðar on National Day.
Helgi Guðmundsson took over as chairman of the club and served until 1935.
In a match between Hörður and Vestri at Hrossataðsvellir (by Eyrargata), the merchant Ólafur Kárason appointed himself linesman in the middle of the game. The referee, shop clerk Gunnar Andrew Jóhannesson, sent him away. After the match, Ólafur sacked Gunnar from his job at his shop, "Björninn".
2. and 3. flokkur (youth teams in football) were founded.
Hörður got its classic striped kit — white, red and blue stripes in the colours of the Icelandic flag — around or after 1932, at the earliest. It was first sewn in England and later in Germany. During the war years after 1940, Hörður played for a time in a red shirt with white sleeves and collar (Arsenal style), but was back in the striped kit before the end of the war.
Knattspyrnufélagið Hörður founds a handball section for girls — one of the oldest of its kind in Iceland. Training has continued almost without interruption since. This is the beginning of the club's handball activity.
Sverrir Guðmundsson took over as chairman in 1936 and served until 1942.
Hörður founds an athletics section — which soon becomes strong and produces national team athletes.
A joint Ísafjörður team (10 players from Hörður, 4 from Vestri) competing under the Westfjords Sports Council won the Icelandic 1st flokkur championship — the Víkingur Cup — the first time the cup left Reykjavík and the first time a team from outside the capital won an Icelandic football championship. The Ísafjörður players beat KR, Víkingur and Valur and drew with Fram. Goals 11-5, 7 points, an unbeaten tournament. Team leader was Sverrir Guðmundsson, chairman of Hörður.
Three new sections are added: gymnastics, glíma (Icelandic wrestling) and skiing (in cooperation with Skíðafélag Ísafjarðar; a ski lodge was built).
Hörður entered its own team in the Icelandic 1st flokkur championship in 1940. It beat Fram 5-1 in the first round but lost 4-2 to Valur in the semi-finals, after Halldór Sveinbjörnsson — one of the team's best players — was injured in the match. Valur won the tournament.
At the 17 June sports meeting in 1942, Hörður had winners in the 100 m (Guðm. L. Þ. Guðmundsson), the long jump, javelin and high jump (Brynjólfur Jónsson) and the shot put (Erling Guðmundsson).
213 members. Board in 1944: Karl Bjarnason (chairman), Pétur Þórarinsson (vice-chairman), Guðríður Matthíasdóttir (secretary), Herbert Sigurjónsson (treasurer), Sveinbjörn Kristjánsson (financial secretary), Sigríður G. Hagalín and Þórður Kristjánsson (board members). The fiftieth anniversary was celebrated on 18 June with a sports meeting — women's handball in the leading role.
When the sports hall and swimming pool on Austurvegur came into use, Hörður members founded a swimming section, which operated for a few years.
Hörður members began construction of a ski lodge at Seljalandsdalur. The club's chairman was Högni Þórðarson, later a bank manager; the master builder was Daníel Sigmundsson. The topping-out was celebrated with a coffee reception at Alþýðuhúsið in November the same year, and the lodge was fully built when Hörður celebrated its 30th anniversary in 1949.
Men (June): Stefnir Súgandafjörður 11–6 Hörður. Women (Flateyri, 31 August): Hörður and Vestri drew; Stefnir beat Hörður; Vestri Westfjords champions. 17 June in Ísafjörður: Hörður beat Vestri 6–4 in the men's match; the women's match was a draw. III. fl. girls: Hörður 6–4 Vestri.
A joint Ísafjörður team (Hörður and Vestri) travelled to the Faroe Islands in summer 1948 — the first foreign tour by Ísafjörður footballers. The team played in the red Arsenal-style kit (red shirt, white sleeves and collar, white shorts) that Hörður had adopted during the war years. This kit was then used by the joint Ísafjörður team in the following years.
At its 30th anniversary, Hörður were Westfjords men's handball champions. 338 members. Chairman: Högni Þórðarson, bank bookkeeper. The celebration was held with speeches from Sverrir Guðmundsson, Finnur Finnsson (chairman of Vestri) and Sigurður Halldórsson, the town mayor.
17 June women's handball match: Vestri beat Hörður 3–1. At the Westfjords women's tournament in I. flokkur, Vestri won by a 2-point margin. In the men's tournament, Stefnir won by 2 points.
Guðlaug Guðjónsdóttir, Hörður's athlete, set a new Icelandic women's high jump record of 1.40 m at the 17 June meeting. Steingerður Gunnarsdóttir and Halla Kristjánsdóttir were also mainstays of women's athletics at the club.
Following the cooperation between Hörður and Vestri at senior level, a joint Ísafjörður team again took part in the Icelandic football championship in 1952.
"The girls trained handball quite a lot, but the boys not at all." The Hörður girls became Westfjords champions (Bíldudalur and Vestri also took part). The men's tournament was also won by Hörður. The Hörður and Vestri girls played at the Icelandic championship in Hafnarfjörður. A visiting Ármann women's team played two drawn matches in Ísafjörður.
I. flokkur girls on 17 June: Hörður 5–4 Vestri. Westfjords girls' tournament: Hörður 1–0 Vestri. In I. flokkur boys, Vestri beat Hörður 2–1.
Westfjords women's handball tournament, 2–3 August, with four teams: Hörður Ísafjörður, Vestri Ísafjörður, Hörður Patreksfjörður (a separate club) and Stefnir Suðureyri. Everyone played everyone.
In the club's 40th anniversary year, Hörður triumphed in all age groups at the Westfjords Tournament — 1st to 5th flokkur.
Jens Kristmannsson became Hörður's chairman in 1960 and held the post until 1982 — a longer term than anyone else in the club's history. He and his brothers Jón and Kristmann lived at Tangagata 29, which Friðrik Bjarnason, at the 50th anniversary, called "Hörður's home in recent years".
The joint Ísafjörður team (Hörður and Vestri) won the men's football 2nd division in summer 1961 and secured a place in the top division the following summer — the first time Ísafjörður players had played in the top division of men's football in Iceland.
Bank holiday weekend: Faroe Islands 7–1 Ísafjörður, Suðureyri 5–3 Ísafjörður, Hörður 3–2 Vestri (girls). Visit to the Westman Islands (Þór's invitational tournament): Hörður won the football matches 6–4 and 4–3; ÍBV won the handball 4–0, and the second match ended in a 2–2 draw.
The old football pitch at Grund was bid farewell with a ceremony in autumn 1963. Chairman Jens Kristmannsson gave an address; Friðrik Bjarnason and Finnborg Jónsdóttir, husband and wife, gave Hörður and Vestri splendid ceremonial flags in memory of their daughter. Hörður beat Vestri 3-2 in the Westfjords Tournament final, refereed by Ágúst Leós. Football moved to Torfnesvöllur in summer 1964.
Hörður sendi eigið lið í Bikarkeppni KSÍ. Eftir sigur á Vestra og Borgnesingum kom Hörður í 8 liða úrslit gegn Fram úr Reykjavík á Torfnesvellinum. Fram sigraði og varð síðar bikarmeistarar.
1998–99 was the last season Hörður took part in HSÍ league competition before the return in 2010. "No Westfjords senior team has competed under HSÍ since the 1998–1999 season."
Steinþór Jón Gunnarsson (21, from Mosfellsbær, a former Icelandic and cup champion with Afturelding's youth team) moved to Ísafjörður and began coaching 3rd, 5th and 6th flokkur. He managed to gather ~90 players in 9 teams in the Ísafjörður/Bolungarvík recreational league.
Former key players from Hörður's heyday returned to the recreational league under the name "Seinni bylgjan". Trésmiðjan in Hnífsdalur was the main sponsor.
Hörður took part in the men's 1st division in 2010–11 for the first time since 1998–99 — also the first Westfjords senior team in HSÍ since then. Along with the B teams of Selfoss and FH, Hörður was one of three new teams.
Knattspyrnufélagið Hörður was registered to compete at senior level in the Icelandic championship for the first time since 1940 — a 74-year break. The team started in the 3rd division, made up of young locals who came up through BÍ's youth set-up. The team's captain and leader was Tómas Emil Guðmundsson, grandson of Högni Þórðarson, a former Hörður chairman.
