The North Jutland Region[1][2] (Template:Langx), or in some official sources, the North Denmark Region,[3] is an administrative region of Denmark established on 1 January 2007 as part of the 2007 Danish municipal reform, which abolished the traditional counties (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and set up five larger regions. At the same time, smaller municipalities were merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 271 before 1 January 2006, when Ærø Municipality was created, to 98. North Jutland Region has 11 municipalities. The reform diminished the power of the regional level dramatically in favor of the local level and the central government in Copenhagen.
Geography
The North Jutland Region consists of the former North Jutland County combined with parts of the former Viborg County (the former municipalities of Aalestrup, Hanstholm, Morsø, Sydthy, and Thisted), and the western half of Mariager Municipality (in the former Aarhus County). It includes islands of Mors, Læsø, and North Jutlandic Island.
Geologically, the region lies in the northern part of Denmark, which is rising because of post-glacial rebound.
Municipalities
The region is subdivided into 11 municipalities:
- Aalborg
- Brønderslev
- Frederikshavn
- Hjørring
- Jammerbugt
- Læsø
- Mariagerfjord
- Morsø
- Rebild
- Thisted
- Vesthimmerland
