Selárdalur
Selárdalur () is the second most westerly of the Ketildalir in Arnarfjörður in Iceland. It was one of the main settled areas in the Westfjords. The eponymous Selárdalur parish was formerly considered one of the country's best parishes, after Stóra-Laugardalssókn, which covered all of Tálknafjörður, was annexed to it. Gísli Jónsson, a priest in Selárdalur between 1547 and 1557, was bishop of Skálholt between 1558 and 1587. Known people from Selárdalur include Bárður svarti Atlason (the grandfather of Hrafn Sveinbjarnarson), Páll Björnsson, Gísli á Uppsölum and Samúel Jónsson, the son of Jón Þorláksson frá Bægisá. Only one farm is currently inhabited.

Samúel Jónsson
Samúel Jónsson (September 15, 1884 – January 5, 1969) was a farmer in Brautarholti in Selárdalur in Ketildalahreppur in Arnarfjörður. He was often known as Samúel Jónsson í Selárdal or Listamaðurinn með barnshjartað ("Artist with the child's heart") and was a famous folk artist that would come to Iceland later in his life. Samúel painted a lot of young men, and his large career began when he built a church with a completed tower on his estate.
