According to Bornholm Place Names, Arnager was first mentioned in 1552 as "Arenack" in one of the Chancery letter books. The harbor was built in 1883 by H. Zahrtmann.[2] For some time, the village was one of the main resting places for the island's missionaries.[3] The city is notable for having Scandinavia's longest wooden bridge.[4] The 200 metres (660 ft) structure links the port with the city. In the mid 1990s, dinosaur footprints were identified on a cliff approximately 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) east of the village.[1]
