The town was founded in 1742 (as Frederikshaab) by Jacob Severin's company as trading station. The settlement prospered on fur trading and whale products. Town's current economy is based on commercial fishing. In the surrounding waters can be seen Minke whales, killer whales, humpback whales and fin whales. Main activities for the locals are seal hunting, sheep raising and fishing.
One of Greenland's finest Norwegian-style churches was built here in 1909. Another tourist attraction is a museum (housed in original 20th-century buildings) including carpenter workshop and salt warehouse. It displays historical photographs, Eskimo and Inuit artifacts, as well as one of Greenland's best stone collections. Cruise passengers can visit an Inuit settlement. Greenland's largest population of white-tailed eagles is also in Paamiut.
