History & geography

History

Kirke Værløse is mentioned in 1321–23 as Vetherløsa maklæ. The meaning of the name is unclear but it may be an old name for the lake Søndersø. The suffix -løse means "area used for grazing in a clearing" (Danish: "græsgang i lysning"). The word maklæ (newer Danish magle) means great or large. With the opening of the Slangerup Rail Line in 1906, Lille Værløse ("Little Værløse"), a smaller village three kilometres to the east, obtained a more favorable location. Its surroundings was redeveloped with summer houses in the 1940s. DSB took over the Slangerup Rail Line in 1945, shortening it with Farum as the new terminus in 1943. The rapid growth of Copenhagen's suburbs in the 1950s and 1960s also affected Lille Værløse, whose population quintupled between 1950 and 1970. The civil parish of Værløse formed the basis of Værløse Municipality which existed until 2006. On 1 January 2007 it was merged with the former Farum Municipality to form Furesø Municipality.
