Northern Netherlands, Province group in Netherlands.

The Northern Netherlands region consists of three provinces: Groningen, Friesland, and Drenthe, forming the northernmost territorial division of the country.

During the Middle Ages, these northern territories developed independently through separate administrative entities until their integration into the Dutch Republic.

Each province in the Northern Netherlands maintains distinct linguistic traditions, with Frisian recognized as an official language alongside Dutch.

The Northern Netherlands contains multiple universities, research centers, and technology parks that contribute to regional development and innovation.

The region includes the Wadden Islands, a chain of barrier islands extending along the continental coast with specific environmental protections.
