History & geography

History

In 1975, the city was described as follows: "Farsø with church, rectory, School, Pharmacist's retail store, District housing, Veirmølle". The town of Farsø got a savings bank in 1877. The inn came in 1883, but until 1912, it was only for road users. After the inauguration of Farsø Hospital in 1894, the city went well around 1900, had a meeting house (from 1897), a mission house (from 1898), a pharmacy, district housing, several merchandise and the joint venture. Farsø was stationed at Aalborg-Hvalpsund Railway in 1910. The city's citizens were so proud of the station building that they donated a tower to it. The track was closed in 1969, and the station building was demolished in 1977. The tower is preserved on the tower of the savings bank. The station building's granite portal was also preserved and was restored in Stationsstræde in 2015. This name and road name Stationsvej reminds that the new city center was landed on the station tree. Engvej is located on the track.
