Á tímum klaustursins á Þingeyrum var staðurinn eitt mesta fræðasetur landsins. Þar sátu munkar og skrifuðu fjöldann allan af ritum sem sum hver hafa varðveist. Talið er að nokkrar Íslendingasögur hafi verið skrifaðar á Þingeyrum en ekki er vitað hverjar þeirra. Frægasti munkur klaustursins er eflaust Gunnlaugur Leifsson (d. 1218) sem ritaði meðal annars sögu Ólafs Tryggvasonar og sögu Jóns helga Ögmundssonar, báðar á latínu.
Í gegnum aldirnar hafa margir merkismenn setið á Þingeyrum. Á árunum 1683 til 1721 bjó þar lögmaðurinn Lauritz Gottrup (1648-1721) sem býlið Gottorp í Vesturhópi er nefnt eftir. Um 1800 bjó hestamaðurinn Jón Ásgeirsson á Þingeyrum en sonur hans, Ásgeir Jónsson, skrifaði bókina Horfnir góðhestar. Árið 1850 fæddist á Þingeyrum Björn M. Ólsen (1850-1919) sem árið 1911 varð fyrsti rektor Háskóla Íslands. Fleiri menntamenn eru tengdir Þingeyrum en árið 1923 giftist Hulda Á. Stefánsdóttir (1897-1989) Jóni Sigurði Pálmasyni ábúanda á Þingeyrum. Hulda var skólastjóri húsmæðraskólanna á Blönduósi og í Reykjavík um áratugaskeið en henni var menntun stúlkna mjög hugleikin.
