Westland

Westland extends over 90 square kilometers of land, containing numerous greenhouses that produce vegetables, fruits, and flowers throughout the year.

The municipality formed on January 1, 2004, through the consolidation of five separate municipalities: Naaldwijk, 's-Gravenzande, De Lier, Wateringen, and Monster.

The municipality maintains strong agricultural traditions with FloraHolland flower auction house in Honselersdijk serving as a central point for international trade.

Located near The Hague and Rotterdam, Westland connects to major transportation networks and provides residents access to urban amenities while maintaining rural characteristics.

With an elevation of just one meter above sea level, Westland's greenhouse complexes create a distinct landscape visible from considerable distances.
