History
In the time of the Viking Age and early Middle Ages there was a castle in Viby.
In early July 1961, Århus Stiftstidende could announce that:
- 100 acres (40 ha) of land were to be designated for industry;
- 1800 new flats were to be built;
- The centre would be freshened up to include a 10 storeys tall hotel, and a shopping centre;
- Two new schools and a church would be constructed;
- Road expansions would be made.
The expansions were intended to increase the population from the (at that time) current 16,000 to 50,000.
In 1970, the new shopping centre was taken into use. It had ended up costing about £4 million, instead of the originally estimated £1.85 million.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“It’s nice to be a part of history but people should get it right. I may not be perfect, but I’m bloody close.”
—John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)
