Municipalities of the Netherlands |
|
|
All provinces of the Netherlands are divided into municipalities (gemeenten), together 443 (2007).

Among the municipalities we can distinguish:
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.
All municipalities are listed in the province articles, see:
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.
See links below.
For the links below, and the articles, note that they do not always reflect the 2006 situation yet.
