Central Denmark Region

Central Denmark Region or Central Jutland Region (Region Midtjylland) is an administrative region of Denmark established on 1 January 2007 as part of the  2007 Danish Municipal Reform, which replaced the traditional counties ("amter") with five larger regions. At the same time, smaller municipalities were merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 271 to 98. The reform was implemented in Denmark on 1 January 2007.
