Zweth, Settlement in Midden-Delfland, Netherlands.
Zweth is a rural settlement in Midden-Delfland that stretches across farmland and waterways in the western Netherlands. The scattered hamlets and countryside create the typical Dutch landscape of flat fields and water channels.
The settlement grew at the boundary between the historical regions of Delfland and Schieland, each with separate administrative systems. This border location shaped how the area developed over centuries.
The settlement maintains strong connections to Dutch agricultural traditions, reflecting the rural practices that have shaped the Midden-Delfland region over generations.
The settlement sits roughly between the cities of Delft and Rotterdam and is accessible by local roads and car. Cycling is also a common way to move through this rural area.
The northern part is officially named 'De Zweth' while the southern part is just 'Zweth', marking where two regions meet administratively. This naming difference is a remnant of how local boundaries were drawn centuries ago.
