History
Etymology
The name Veflinge is derived from the old Danish word wifl, which means throwing spear. It is believed that this indicates that the terrain has a spear-like shape.[3]
The Northwest Funen Railway
Veflinge was a railway town on the Northwest Funen Railway from 1911–66, when the line was closed. The train station was built about 1 km south of the original village, and the former stationbuilding still remain in existence. The new settlement nearby grew towards the north and later merged with the old village.[3]
