Located in the Vecht valley of Salland region, Ommen extends across 182 square kilometers and maintains a population of 18,295 inhabitants.
The Prince-Bishop of Utrecht granted Ommen city rights in 1248, following attacks from Rudolf of Coevorden, establishing its position as a regional stronghold.
The municipality preserves traditional markets dating from 1557, with the Bissing fair extending multiple weeks throughout the summer season.
The municipal administration operates from Chevalleraustraat 2 with postal code 7730 AC, offering governmental services to residents and businesses.
The former fortress Ommerschans, situated 10 kilometers north, transformed from a 1628 defensive structure into a 19th-century labor institution.
