Lievegem, Administrative municipality in East Flanders, Belgium
Description
Lievegem is a municipality in East Flanders made up of six different districts: Lovendegem, Oostwinkel, Zomergem, Waarschoot, Nevele, and Lievegem itself. The Lieve Canal runs through the area and connects rural zones with smaller town centers.
History
The area was formed on January 1, 2019, when three separate municipalities merged: Waarschoot, Lovendegem, and Zomergem. This brought together three historically independent communities under a single administration.
Culture
The name comes from the Lieve Canal that runs through the area and has shaped how people live there for centuries. Each of the six districts has kept its own local traditions, which you can see in the way the town centers look and in community events.
Practical
The area is served by six different postal code zones, each corresponding to a district and making it easy to navigate for visitors and residents. The individual town centers are easily reached by car or bicycle and offer local services and shops.
Did you know?
Each of the six districts kept its own name and identity even though they now operate under a single administration. This means visitors can travel between quite different places with different characters without leaving the municipality.
