Leusden, Municipality in Utrecht, Netherlands.

Leusden stretches across 58.89 square kilometers, featuring forests and heathlands on the Utrecht Hill Ridge in the west and agricultural lands in the east.

First documented in 777 as Villa Lisiduna, the settlement developed from the merger of agricultural communities Leusbroek and Hamersveld in the early 1970s.

The municipality includes three shopping districts: De Hamershof, De Biezenkamp with its weekly market, and De Zuidhoek serving newer residential areas.

The municipality contains four main villages - Leusden, Leusden-Zuid, Achterveld, and Stoutenburg - and lies just 3 kilometers southeast of Amersfoort.

In 1924, Leusden hosted the first Pinksterlanddagen gathering on municipal land, an event specifically organized for youth with anarchist perspectives.
