Women in Þingeyjarsýslur fought for over twenty years for the founding of a domestic school, and in 1929 the domestic school at Laugar in Reykjadalur was established.
Þingeyskar konur börðust yfir tuttugu ár fyrir slíkum skóla og árið 1929 var Húsmæðraskóli Þingeyinga stofnaður á Laugum í Reykjadal.
