It covers most of Hørsholm Municipality and straddles the borders neighbouring Fredensborg Municipality and Rudersdal Municipality.

Over the following decades it grew as a garrison town and a local centre for trade. Industrialization A textile factory, later known as the Royal Military Textile Factory, had already been ...
