After the municipal reform of 1862, Örkelljunga was part of Örkelljunga Landskommun. In this, Örkelljunga municipal community was established for the town on 4 August 1911 and dissolved on 31 December 1952. Since 1971, the village has been part of Örkelljunga Municipality as a central town.[2]

Between 1928 and 1939 Eiber and Suecia motorcycles were produced here.[3]
