In 1875, there were 782 residents in [[Aars parish]]. In a description from around that time of the city is said "Aars with Church, [[Clergy house]], School and Inn with Grocery Store, Bakery and Meltyard". In 1880 there was another grocery store. The end of the 18th century was there a post office.

In 1893, the city received a state railway station on the Himmerlandsbaner from [[Hobro]] / [[Viborg, Denmark|Viborg]] via [[Aalestrup]] to [[Løgstør]]. In 1899, Aars became [[Himmerland]]'s railroad junction. The private railway Aars-[[Nibe]]-[[Svenstrup, Aalborg Municipality|Svenstrup]] (-Aalborg) got a terminal here and was extended in 1910 from Aars to [[Hvalpsund (city)|Hvalpsund]]. The Great Rail Act of 1918 even opened the possibility that there should also be a Himmelland crossroads Aars-Arden-Bælum-Øster Hurup, but this course was never brought, like most projects in this law.

[[Aalborg]]-[[Hvalpsund (city)|Hvalpsund]] Railway was closed in 1969. As early as 1966, DSB's passenger traffic at Aars Station was terminated. The freight traffic Viborg-Løgstør continued with the expedition station in Aars, but ended in 1999. The station has been demolished, the track was taken up in 2006 and the former railway station is now shopstores. It will be used by the Himmerlands path to [[Viborg, Denmark|Viborg]] and [[Løgstør]]. Nature trail [[Nibe]]-[[Hvalpsund (city)|Hvalpsund]] uses the railway line to Nibe, but follows Løgstørvej in the first 2&nbsp;km towards [[Havbro]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Himmerlandsbanerne|url=http://www.baner-omkring-aalborg.dk/?Himmerlandsbanerne|website=Nordjyllands jernbaner|access-date=21 April 2017|archive-date=25 July 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130725111916/http://baner-omkring-aalborg.dk/?Himmerlandsbanerne|url-status=dead}}</ref>
