The municipality included the island of Brandsø, covered an area of 163 km², and had a total population of 10,046 (2005). Its last mayor was Claus Hansen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Ejby.

Ejby municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007).
