Ryomgård came to life as a town in the late 1870'ties [REF] when a railway was established from Randers on mainland Jutland across the Djursland peninsula to the fishing- and seaport Grenå on the east coast of Djursland.
In 1911 another railway line from Ryomgård to Gjerrild in the north of Djursland was added [REF] making Ryomgård a railway hub on Djursland.
