The paper was first published on 2 July 1869[1] under the name Vestjylland eller Herning Folkeblad.[2] Mediehuset Herning Folkeblad is the owner of Herning Folkeblad.[3] The company also owns Midtjyllands Avis, Ikast Avis[3] and Skive Folkeblad which was acquired by the company in September 2020.[4] Herning Folkeblad was formerly owned by a family company.[5]

The headquarters of Herning Folkeblad is in Herning.[5][6] The paper cooperates with the Herning Public Library with which it shares the same building.[6]
