History & geography

History

The name is first documented in 1211–1214 as Skeping. The first part of the name may be derived from Old Danish skap , meaning "something excavated'. The suffix -inge is frequently seen in Danish toponyms. Skævinge was a village of considerable size in the Middle Ages but later shrunk and the parishes of Skævinge and Gørløse were therefore merged. The civil parish of Skævinge-Gørlse was formed in the 1840s. The opening of the Hillerød-Frederiksværk Railway in 1897 brought new development to the town and by the 1940s Skævinge was by far the largest village in the area between Hillerød, Frederiksværk and Frederikssund. The 1970 Danish Municipal Reform merged Skævinge-Gørløse with the civil parishes of Strø and Store Lyngby under the new Skævinge Municipality. It was incorporated in Gillerød Municipality in 2007.
