Editing Hadsund (section)

== Etymology ==
The place name ''Hadsund'' was initially used to refer to the waters of the narrow strait of the [[Mariager Fjord]] were the town now lies. The oldest written mentions of Hadsund come from the 15th century, when its name was recorded as ''Haddeswnth'', ''Hadesundt'', ''Haddersund'', and ''Hadissunt''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Hadsund – 1544a Hadsund s., Hindsted h.|url=https://gefin.ku.dk/q.php?p=danmarksstednavne/artikler/artikel/310122|access-date=11 April 2024|website=Danmarks stednavne|publisher=[[University of Copenhagen]]|language=da}}</ref><ref name=":1"/>

The origin of the name ''Hadsund'' is not known with certainty. It is likely that the village of Haderup on the south side of the fjord was the source of the narrow strait's name as the name ''Haderup Sund'' (English: ''Haderup Strait'') may have been shortened to ''Hadsund''. The first farms that emerged on the northern side strait around the turn of the 18th century were initially referred to as ''Sundhusene'' (English: ''The Strait Houses''). It wasn't until the 1850s that the name ''Sundhusene'' fell out of use and was replaced with ''Hadsund Husene'' (English: ''The Hadsund Houses''), along with the houses on the southern side of the fjord.
