Stadskanaal, Municipal administrative center in Groningen Province, Netherlands

Stadskanaal extends across 119 square kilometers of land with numerous waterways connecting different sections of the northeastern Netherlands region.

The construction of the namesake canal in the 1800s transformed this region into a central hub for peat transportation to the city of Groningen.

Residents of Stadskanaal maintain their regional identity through the local dialect, referring to their town as Knoal and themselves as Knoalsters.

The municipality provides services to 32,013 residents through multiple administrative centers located in Alteveer, Mussel, and Onstwedde districts.

The municipality maintains international connections through its partnership with the Polish city of Bielsko-Biała, fostering cross-cultural exchanges between both regions.
