Válur and Nes are outlying villages from Kvívík, founded in 1842 and the 1830s, respectively, on the side of the markatal settlement of Kvívík which lies in the fjord at Vestmanna, and from where it was possible to fish more regularly than in Kvívík. The outlying villages also had easier access to certain parts of Kvívík’s outfield. A large marina was built in 2017. Válur currently has 51 inhabitants.
