History

Strandby-Farsø parish Municipality built a municipal office in the town of Farsø in 1941. Following the municipal reform in 1970, where the municipality of Farsø was established by merging with other parish municipalities, it was still used for the administration of the municipality until 1989, when a new town hall was put into service. Farsø Municipality was part of the municipal reform in 2007 where it formed the Vesthimmerland Municipality.
