History
Aabybro was a railway town from 1897 until 1969. Before the construction of the station, there was a very small settlement in the area. The station brought more traffic and expanded the town. It was a stop on the Hjørring-Løkken-Aabybro rail line, which operated between 1913 and 1963.[4][5]
Aabybro was formerly the seat of Aabybro Municipality. The municipality was established in 1970 and lasted until 2007, when the municipality was merged with the municipalities of Pandrup, Brovst and Fjerritslev to form Jammerbugt Municipality.[6]
