Om Dimna
Dimna has been inhabited since ancient times, with very old settlement traces found at Dimnasund. The island was long a purely agricultural and fishing community. In recent times, Dimna IL has gained fame far beyond the region, not least through world-class athlete Karsten Warholm who has roots in the club. Sundgota is the largest village on the island with around 900 inhabitants.
