Hadsund (Danish: [hæðˈsɔnˀ] ⓘ) is a city in the eastern part of Jutland with a population of 4,973 (1 January 2022) (5,414 incl. Hadsund South).[1] The city is located by the narrow strait of Hadsund, , along an inlet called Mariagerfjord. This is a part of Mariagerfjord Municipality in the North Denmark Region. Until 2007, Hadsund was the administrative seat of Hadsund Municipality.

The town of Hadsund is home to a number of companies, including DAVA Foods, Nilfisk and Bodylab. The western part of the greater Hadsund area is home to the oldest still existing windmill in northern Jutland, Havnø Mølle, which was built in 1842 and operated until approximately 1927.

Although the etymology and origins of the city name remain inconclusive, one interpretation holds that the city's name can be traced back to the 18th century as "Houses of the Sound", which was formerly the collective name for the first settlements along the main road. The town was granted elevated privileges as a trade hub on 1 December 1854 (which was then the city's official birthday), but never gained de facto market town-rights.

The town houses multiple educational institutions, including Tech College Mariagerfjord, VUC Hadsund, Hadsund School and Hadsund Produktionsskole in the area of vocational education. The city has a broad selection of supermarkets and specialty shops considering the city's modest population. The town also has the only covered shopping center in Himmerland: Hadsund Butikscenter.

Storegade has constituted the city's pedestrian zone since 1990. The street was part of the main highway between Hobro and Aalborg until the road was reformed in 1970.

Hadsund is also the birthplace of author Hans Kirk.

History

Hadsund about 1937

It was founded in 1854, when it received handelspladsprivilegier (commercial space priviliges). Prior to this it mostly comprised a ferry terminal with permission to hold markets on either side of the fjord. In 1861, a commercial port was instituted in Hadsund. In 1883, a rail link was established to Randers, and in 1900 another link was made to Aalborg. The city had two railway stations, Hadsund North Station and Hadsund South Station, which both closed with the railroad in 1969. As of 1 January 2020, the town had a population of 4,971.[2]

In 1904 a railway bridge spanning Mariager Fjord was constructed, creating easier access to the hinterland south of the inlet. Today, the city's bridge over the fjord keeps the city notable.

In 1920, the Old Maskinsnedkeri was built in the city.

Coat of arms of Hadsund

Hadsund's arms were granted to the town in 1937. The coat of arms shows mainly the 1904 bridge. The four waves symbolize villages that lay in the municipality: Skelund, Visborg, Vive, and Hadsund. The crescent shape symbolizes the new municipality, and the star represents longevity. The bridge was replaced in 1976, but its classic steel arches were never changed in the town logo.
