AALBORG, a city in Denmark, the capital of the see of the same name. It is situated on the Lumfjord, at the spot where the Oostere joins it; is tolerably fortified; contains a cathedral and several other public buildings, with 830 houses, and 6600 inhabitants. There are manufactories of sugar, soap, snuff, chocolate, and scythics, with several distilleries; but the woollen and hosiery trades which formerly existed are nearly extinct. The entrance to the harbour is such as to require vessels drawing more than 10 feet of water to lighten before they approach the city. The chief exports are herrings, corn, wool, hides, tar, tallow, and corn spirits. It is in Lat. 57. 2. 57. N., and Long. 9. 50. 36. E.
