The outlying village of Norðdepil has 158 inhabitants (as of 31st December 2024). It has a cemetery but no church. The embankment from 1974 across sound has meant that Norðdepil and Hvannasund have become a coherent community with shared facilities.

A Norwegian whaling station was established here in 1897, which was in operation until it closed down after 1912.
