'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
Ã…rhus County).
