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

Contents 1 Alphabetic list 2 Table 3 Further subdivisions 4 See also 5 References 6 External links

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]

This table is semi-automatically updated, so edits of the wikitext are overwritten. To change a link label and/or link target of a municipality, use the "e" link. To update population figures, edit Template:Population Dutch municipalities (talk, backlinks, edit) (effective after the next semi-automatic update of this table). See also nl:Tabel van Nederlandse gemeenten (talk).

This table uses two #ifexist calls per municipality. With the upcoming restriction to 100 of such calls per page a modification is needed. However, a new preprocessor is being developed [1], in which the pre-expand include size limit has been replaced by a "preprocessor node count" limit. For modification of the system used to produce tables like this, details on the latter are needed first. edit

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.
