Today it is the biggest town of South Greenland, with a population of about 3,000 people and it is one of four growth centers in the country. The daily life is very much influenced by the high level of activity.

Throughout Qaqortoq you meet examples of the unique art project 'Stone and People'. Scandinavian sculptors have contributed pieces of art in chiseled granite, which transforms the town into one big sculpture park.
Qaqortoq means "the white". The town was founded in 1775 and today, with more than 3,500 inhabitants, it is the largest town in South Greenland. 3,200 of the inhabitants live in the town itself, while the rest live in the three surrounding settlements, either at the two reindeer farms or at the thirteen sheep farms. The town has several fair-sized companies. The town's shipyard builds small fiberglass cutters. Great Greenland purchases sealskins, which they tan and sew into some of the world's most coveted furs. And Royal Greenland keeps supermarket freezers stocked with shrimps. The town square with Greenland's oldest fountain is situated close to the harbor where the fishermen arrive every day to sell the day's catch on "brættet". The square is encircled by some of the most well-preserved buildings from the colonial era, the oldest of which was built over 200 years ago. Several of these buildings still play an important role in the town's daily life where the old and new prosper side by side.
