'Region Midtjylland' (
English: ''Region Central 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.

Jutland peninsula and consists of the former counties of
Ringkjøbing and
