history

Nuugaarsuk was first settled in 1811, but has since been deserted. In 1916 the residents of Kiinaalik moved to Nuugaarsuk to fish for Alluitsoq. The place was part of the municipality of Sydprøven.

In 1919 there were 52 people in Nuugaarsuk who lived in six houses. Among them were four hunters, four fishermen and a catechist. Most of the population lived from fishing and seal hunting. Just one year later, however, the place was finally given up.
