Digranes (in Icelandic pronounced as /ˈtɪɣraˌnɛːs/) is one of the 5 districts of Kópavogur. The district's borders are defined by the Hafnarfjarðarvegur in the west, Kópavogslækur in the south, Fossvogslækur in the north and the Reykjanesbraut in the east.[1]
Digranes is one of the oldest settlements in Iceland, dating back to around 1300. By the year 1936 most farming activities in Digranes had ceased.
Ruins of the Digranes village lay next to the Digranes Gymnasium.
