Biography
View old mayors

Vallensbæk can trace its origins to the construction of the Vallensbæk Church was back in the 12th century. By 1784 the city encompassed a total of 14 farms specializing in the harvesting of barley. The civil parish of Vallensbæk (Vallensbæk Sognekommune) was founded in 1842.

The Vallensbæk train station was the terminus of the first stage of the Køge Bay Line which opened in 1972. The opening of the train line heralded a new age of suburban development of the area.

Vallensbæk Municipality was not merged with any adjacent municipality under the municipal reform of 2007, as it agreed to enter into a "municipal cooperation agreement" with Ishøj Municipality.
