All provinces of the Netherlands are divided into municipalities (gemeenten), together 441 (2009).
Contents |
Among the municipalities 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]
All current municipalities of the Netherlands have a different name, except that there are Bergen, North Holland and Bergen, Limburg.

Further subdivisions
Based on a subdivision made for the 1947 census, there are ca. 2,400 quarters, subdivided in ca. 11,000 neighbourhoods.
On the other hand, there is a list of 7,000 places.
A large place consists of several quarters, but a small place is only part of a quarter.
