MUNICIPALITIES OF THE NETHERLANDS

(Redirected from Municipalities in the Netherlands)

|
|
|}
All provinces of the Netherlands are divided into municipalities (''gemeenten''), together 443 (2007); among these we can distinguish:

★ those comprising one main city, town or village with the same name as the municipality, and possibly some additional villages; for example

★
★ Utrecht, comprising the city Utrecht and the villages De Meern, Haarzuilens, Vleuten.

★ those comprising several villages, none with the name of the municipality; in that case the name of the municipality may not be as well-known outside it as the villages; for example:

★
★ Albrandswaard comprising the villages of Poortugaal and Rhoon.

★ those with a double name, comprising (mainly) the two towns or villages in the name, for example:

★
★ Pijnacker-Nootdorp, comprising the villages Pijnacker and Nootdorp.

★ those comprising a main town and additional villages, yet the municipality is not named after this town; for example:

★
★ Smallingerland with main town Drachten.

★
★ Haarlemmermeer with main town Hoofddorp.
Recent politics have led to a great number of mergers between smaller municipalities or with cities, a process which will continue in the future (with a few mergers set to occur on 2009-01-01 and 2010-01-01). On 15 December 2008 Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius will become part of the Netherlands ''per se'' with a status equivalent to that of municipalities.^[1]
