Placenames in the Netherlands 2004

In addition to city names, there are place names in the Netherlands. This table gives an overview of the place names in the Netherlands in 2004. A large number of place names are in use in the Netherlands. These places do not always coincide with municipalities, partly due to municipal reclassifications. Places that used to be independent municipalities can now be part of a larger municipality. Places include villages, hamlets, boroughs, ribbon buildings, larger urban areas (mostly older cores, garden villages or more recent expansion areas). The table also includes names of large industrial sites, air and seaports and clearly recognisable polders. This table allows users to locate names of places by municipality, by economic geographical area and by province. In addition, it can be verified whether the name of a place corresponds to the place names listed in the Geographical Basis Register established for postal purposes (referred to as the PTT residence name) Data available on: 2004 Status of the figures: definitively When will there be new figures? This table has been discontinued; each year, a new table with the most recent place names is compiled.
