The History & Sights of the Area
Aabenraa is a direct translation of 'open beach', and from its kilometers of coast line you can see why!

This then lead to the town becoming a main ship building town that created a lot of employment and the local economy.
After the 1948 Danish spelling reform, which abolished the digraph Aa in favour of Å, there was fervent resistance in Aabenraa. The town feared, among other things, to lose its status as first in alphabetical listings, because the letter Å is the last letter in the Dano-Norwegian alphabet. A later revision of the spelling rules allowed for retaining the Aa spelling as an option. While the municipality of Aabenraa and most local citizens use the Aa spelling, Åbenrå remains the option recommended by the Danish Language Board
