History
The first known reference to Skibstrup is from 1519. The origins of the name is uncertain but it may means "The settlement by the ship".
In 1681, Skibstrup consisted of seven tenant farms and two houses without land. All seven farms remained in the village in connection with the agricultural reforms of the 1780s. Their names were Skellebæk, Gørlunde, Tranager, Rosendal, Skadenborg (now called Viehøjgaard), Hagenberg and Aldersborg. They were all sold in 1797 but only Rosendal was moved out of the village.
When the
Hornbæk Railway opened in 1906, Skobstrup began to grow, first along the Kattegat coast and later inland.
