History


In the Middle Ages, when Denmark was divided into hundreds, the area of Hashøj Municipality were under Vester Flakkebjerg Hundred and Slagelse Hundred. Vester Flakkebjerg Hundred was under Sorø County when it was established in 1662, while Slagelse Hundred came under Korsør County. Sorø County was merged with Ringsted County in 1748. It was merged again in 1798, this time with Korsør County and Antvorskov County. This county lasted until the 1970 Danish Municipal Reform where it merged with Holbæk County to create West Zealand County (Danish: Vestsjællands Amt). After the 2007 municipal reform this changed to Region Zealand.

From 1842, where parish municipalities were created, and until 1966 the area of Hashøj Municipality consisted of seven parish municipalities. They were merged in 1966 to form Hashøj Parish Municipality which would turn into Hashøj Municipality in 1970.

In the Municipality Reform of 2007 Hashøj Municipality was merged with Skælskør, Slagelse and Korsør Municipality to form a new Slagelse Municipality.[2]
