In March 2007, it was decided by the Ministry of the Environment that Flyvestation Værløse, a former air base situated 17 km from the City Hall square of Copenhagen and given to the municipality to own, would be granted legally protected status from real estate exploitation.
The last three stations, namely Hareskov, Værløse and Farum, of one S-train commuter train line from Copenhagen are located in the municipality.
It was established as a merger of the former Farum and Værløse municipalities on January 1, 2007 as a consequence of the Municipal Reform.
