Twenterand is a
municipality in the eastern
Netherlands. The name means "edge of
Twente" as it is situated on the northwestern fringe of the Overijssel historical region of Twente. Note that the former municipality of Den Ham, one of the constituent parts of the merger municipality, is actually situated in the historical region of
Salland, not Twente.
The municipality of Twenterand also has two
city halls, because of the merger between the former municipalities of Vriezenveen en Den Ham, wich are now both part of the municipality of Twenterand.
