History[edit | edit source]

  • 1794: Vejle County was formed by combining Koldinghus and Stjernholm Counties and also transferring Slavs and Vester Horne districts (herreder) to Ribe County.
  • 14 June 1799: Nim district was transferred to Skanderborg County and Skanderborg County was absorbed into Århus County.
  • 22 September 1867: Nørre Tyrstrup district was added to Vejle County. That district had formerly been part of Haderslev County which was part of Schleswig. But after Schleswig was lost in the war of 1864, a few parts such as Nørre Tyrstrup were allowed to return to Denmark.
  • 1970: The counties were reorganized. Vejle countinued to exist but its boundaries were greatly changed.
  • 1 January 2007: The counties were abolished and replaced with regions. Vejle was divided between the Central and Southern Jutland regions. These are the new boundaries that are in effect to this day.
