North Brabant, Province of the Netherlands in the southern region
Description
Noord-Brabant is a province in the south of the Netherlands, stretching between South Holland province to the north and the Belgian border to the south. The region contains several larger cities and is crossed by rivers such as the Meuse and smaller waterways.
History
The territory joined the Burgundian Netherlands in 1430 and remained with the Kingdom of the Netherlands after Belgian independence in 1830. The southern parts of the old Duchy of Brabant became Belgian and now form the Belgian province of Brabant.
Culture
The name derives from the historic Duchy of Brabant, which once spanned both sides of the present Dutch-Belgian border. Residents traditionally speak Brabantian dialects, which remain audible today in rural areas and smaller towns.
Practical
Travelers move between cities often by train or via highways that cross the province from northwest to southeast. Many places are easily reached from Amsterdam or Belgian cities and offer connections to larger routes.
Did you know?
Numerous windmills still stand in rural parts of the province and some of them continue to grind grain or pump water. Many of these mills are open to visitors and show old mechanisms in operation.
