History

The town of Bollingsted is first mentioned in 1196 (Dipl. dan. 1, 3, 216). In Jutland, the village is pronounced Bollengstej ( Angelmål ) or Bollengste ( Fjoldemål ). The place name is attributed to the male name Boling (col. Bolungarvik in Iceland), which seems to come from Old Norse bolungr (≈tree stack) [3] or the name is attributed to the male name Balding, which seems to come from Old Saxon bald (≈handsome, brave). Gammelund is first mentioned in 1305 , combined with gammel and lund. Engbro (≈bro ved en eng) was first mentioned in 1648 and was named after a bridge at Bollingsted Å.

The current municipality was formed in 1976 by merging the municipalities of Bollingsted and Gammelund. In addition to the towns of Bollingsted and Gammelund, the municipality includes the settlements Bollingstedlund (German Bollingstedtlund ), Bøgholt ( Beekholt ), Engbro ( Engbrück ), part of Gøreså/Køså ( Görrisau , the western part under Sølvested ), Søndermark ( Süderfeld ) and Vesterskov ( Westerschau ).
