Aalborg County

Aalborg County (Danish: Ålborg Amt, former spelling: Aalborg Amt) is a former province in Denmark, located in north-eastern Jutland around the eastern approach to the Limfjord.

[1] The region belonged to Himmersyssel during the Middle Ages, with the exception of Kær Herred - located north of the Limfjord - which belonged to Vendsyssel.

In 1542, the north Jutland region was reorganised as Aalborghus Len.

[1] The latter province was divided again in 1793 with the bulk of its territory being reorganized as Hjørring County.
