Aarhus County

Aarhus County

Aarhus County or Århus County ( _da. Århus Amt) is a former county (Danish: "amt") in central Denmark on the Jutland peninsula. The county was abolished effective January 1, 2007, when almost all of it merged into Region Midtjylland (i.e. "Region Central Jutland"). A very small portion was merged into Region Nordjylland ("Region North Jutland"). At the time of closure, more than 20,000 people worked for the county.
