Trøjborg's history can be traced back to the late 19th century when it was primarily an agricultural area. The name 'Trøjborg' translates to 'Troy Castle,' reflecting its rural roots and the local folklore that surrounded it. The neighbourhood was characterized by farms and smallholdings, which supported the growing city of Aarhus nearby.

As Aarhus began to expand in the early 20th century, Trøjborg transformed from a quiet rural area into a suburban neighbourhood. The construction of residential buildings and infrastructure was influenced by the broader trends of urbanization in Denmark, leading to an influx of families seeking homes close to the city center.

Throughout the 20th century, Trøjborg established itself as a cultural and educational hub within Aarhus. The presence of educational institutions, such as the School of Architecture, attracted students and professionals, fostering a vibrant community. Local cultural events and festivals became commonplace, enriching the neighbourhood's social fabric.

After World War II, Trøjborg underwent significant reconstruction and modernization. The need for new housing led to the development of more contemporary architectural styles, reflecting the changing tastes and needs of the population. This period also saw the establishment of parks and recreational areas, enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Today, Trøjborg is known for its unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities. The neighbourhood has become a desirable place to live, with its attractive parks, local shops, and cafés. The community continues to celebrate its heritage while embracing contemporary culture, making it an integral part of Aarhus's diverse urban landscape.
