Nuuk is the capital and biggest city of the self-governing Danish territory of Greenland. The city was founded in 1721 by the Norwegian missionary Hans Egede. However, the site has a long history of inhabitation by Viking explorers in the 10th century and thereafter, by Inuit peoples later and by Inuits and Danes today. The city is generally known as Godthab in Danish, although since home rule was ratified in 1979, the official name of the city is its Greenlandic name of Nuuk. Nuuk has a population of about 14,500.
