Hoeksche Waard, Agricultural municipality in South Holland, Netherlands
Hoeksche Waard encompasses an island territory of 323 square kilometers between five rivers, including the Oude Maas and Hollands Diep in South Holland.
The municipality formed in 2019 through the merger of five separate administrative regions: Binnenmaas, Cromstrijen, Korendijk, Oud-Beijerland, and Strijen.
The region maintains numerous traditional Dutch windmills and churches across its territory, representing centuries of Netherlands architectural and agricultural heritage.
The area connects to surrounding regions through tunnels to IJsselmonde and Dordrecht, plus a ferry service to Voorne-Putten and bridges to Goeree-Overflakkee.
The territory includes Tiengemeten, a separate island transformed from farmland into a nature reserve with walking paths and educational centers.
