History
The town known as Toftlund today was historically two towns, Herrested (to the south, organized around the church, which dates to around 1100) and Toftlund to the north, but they eventually grew together. From 1864 to 1920, like the rest of Southern Jutland, Toftlund was a part of Prussia. But it first in 1870 that it became more than a few houses and farms. The Prussians needed an administrative center and chose Toftlund as the site for a new town where they could house and employ German administrators from the south. Many of the buildings in Toftlund survive from this time, with many being built in a German style. From 1904 to 1939, Toftlund had a train station that connected it to nearby Haderslev. There are bunkers in the forest from the first world war which were a part of a network of bunkers (Security Position North) across Southern Jutland. Before the Municipal Reform of 2007, Toftlund was the administrative center of Nørre-Rangstrup Municipality.
