== History ==
Skalborg was originally an independent village that arose around a collection of emigrant farms near the present-day intersection of Nibevej and Hobrovej.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Byudvikling: Skalborg|url=https://www.aalborg.dk/om-kommunen/byplanlaegning/byudvikling/skalborg|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200809233325/https://www.aalborg.dk/om-kommunen/byplanlaegning/byudvikling/skalborg|archive-date=9 August 2020|access-date=11 February 2020|website=[[Aalborg Municipality]]|language=da}}</ref> Historically, the railway has also played a large role in the development of Skalborg, as it is connected by the [[Skalborg railway station]] to the [[Randers–Aalborg railway line]]. 

Since 1992, there has also been a large and ongoing focus on retail and business development in Skalborg. ''City Syd'', a large shopping district, and ''Skalborg Sportsklub'' are located in Skalborg.

In 2017, [[Aalborg Municipality]] created an urban development plan for Skalborg, which has meant that large parts of the district have been renovated and that new residential areas such as Oasen, Sofiendal Enge, and Sofiendalen have emerged.<ref name=":0" /> Aalborg Municipality has a desire continue to develop Skalborg into a residential area and green areas and cycle paths are being established to support this plan.
