The Ministry of Transport was founded in 1900 under the name Ministry for Public Works ("Ministeriet for offentlige Arbejder").

In turn, the name was changed to Ministry of Transport and Energy; the energy department was transferred to what is now known as the Danish Ministry of Climate and Energy in 2007.
