Westervoort, Municipality at the confluence of Rhine and IJssel rivers in Gelderland, Netherlands
The town extends across 7.84 square kilometers of land, making it the smallest municipality by area in the Netherlands, with a population of 15,014.
The municipal status of Westervoort dates back to January 1, 1812, with its current administrative structure established on July 7, 2008.
The municipality maintains connections with neighboring Arnhem through regular cultural exchanges, community events, and shared recreational facilities along the riverbanks.
A railway station opened in December 2011 connects residents to major Dutch cities, while public buses and the A12 motorway provide additional transportation options.
A small ferry service in the southern part crosses the Rhine river, connecting Westervoort residents to the neighboring town of Huissen.
