Editing Sindal (section)

==History==
The town was originally named ''Soldalen'', meaning "Sun Valley".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Oplevelser i Sindal|url=https://www.toppenafdanmark.dk/hjoerring/se-oplev/familieferie/oplevelser-i-sindal|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Toppen af Danmark|language=da}}</ref> There is some dispute over when the city was officially founded; the earliest records of the city's existence date back to the 18th century, in which the city is described as "Sindal church near the town of Sindal with Housing for the priest, a railroad, and school".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Trap|first=J.P.|url=https://runeberg.org/trap/2-5/0081.html|title=Kongeriget Danmark: Amterne Hjørring, Thisted, Aalborg, Viborg og Randers|year=1877|edition=2nd|volume=5|location=Copenhagen|pages=49|language=da}}</ref> Much of the town's growth was a result the [[Sindal station|Sindal Station]], which brought business to the area and was built in 1871.

The town's oldest commercial building is the Sindal mill. It had originally been built in the nearby village of Fjeldsted, but was moved to Sindal in 1872 after the railway station was opened. It remained operational as a grain mill until 1947, but after its closure fell into disrepair. Major restorations managed to save the windmill and today it remains the only fully preserved stone-walled mill in [[Vendsyssel]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Adolfsen|first=Lars Dalsgaard|date=2012-04-27|title=Mangeårigt mølleprojekt lakker mod enden|url=https://www.building-supply.dk/article/view/81099/mangearigt_molleprojekt_lakker_mod_enden|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Building Supply DK|language=da}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Lebech-Sørensen|first=Anne Marie|title=Vindmøller og vandmøller i Danmark|publisher=Forlaget SKIB|year=2006|pages=213|language=da}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Sindal Mølle|url=https://www.toppenafdanmark.dk/toppen-af-danmark/se-oplev/sindal-molle---sindal-gdk643249|access-date=2020-08-10|website=www.toppenafdanmark.dk|language=da}}</ref>
