The city of Falkenberg was established in the Middle Ages in a region known in archaic Danish as Skaanelandende. The region makes up the eastern part of the Kingdom of Denmark from the ninth century all the way through to the seventeenth century. The region has made up the southwestern section of the Kingdom of Sweden since then.

In the early thirteenth century, the Danish king constructed a fort on the Atran at the southern shore, which is responsible for the name, Falkenberg. It is a known fact that falconry was highly pursued in the region.

The area that is north of the river was at times Swedish or Norwegian. A market town was developed on this side of the river. A church was built sometime around 1300. After the Northern Seven Years' War from 1563 through 1570, a town referred to as New Falkenberg could be found near Falkenberg. Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson's troops destroyed the fort in1434.
