From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Region Nordjylland (English: Region North Jutland) is an administrative region of Denmark established on January 1, 2007 as part of the 2007 Danish Municipal Reform, which replaced the traditional counties ("amter") with five larger regions. At the same time, smaller municipalities were merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 271 to 98. The reform was implemented in Denmark on January 1, 2007.
Region Nordjylland consists of the former county of Nordjylland combined with parts of the county of Viborg (the former municipalities of Aalestrup, Hanstholm, Morsø, Sydthy, and Thisted), and the western half of Mariager municipality (in Århus County).
