In 1840, the original province of Holland was divided into North and South Holland, forming the provinces of North Holland and South Holland (Zuid-Holland).
Before 1795
For most of its history, the province of North Holland has been an integral part of the Netherlands (referring to the region of the Netherlands consisting of the provinces of North Holland and South Holland, not the present-day Netherlands).
From the 9th to the 16th centuries, "Holland" was composed of
Counts of Holland
To rule. During this period,
West Friesland
The region (now part of the province of North Holland) was incorporated into the "Netherlands". For the next few hundred years, the official name of "Holland" was "Holland and West Frisian". As a region within the Netherlands (later the province of North Holland),
A West Frisian
Have a strong sense of identity.
From the 16th century to 1795, "Holland" was
Dutch Republic
The richest and most important province. As the richest and most powerful province, "Holland" controlled the Republic. During this period, there was sometimes a division of Noorderkwartier (North) and Zuiderkwartier (South), roughly the present-day provinces of North Holland and South Holland.
The Emergence of new provinces (1795-1840)
The province of North Holland originated during the period of French rule from 1795 to 1813. This was a period of great confusion in the Dutch provincial system. In 1795,
The Republic of Batavia
Established, the old province abolished. The Constitution of 23 April 1798 completely changed the old division. The Republic is divided into eight departments (Departement) of similar population. The Netherlands is divided into the provinces of Texel, Amstel, Delf, Schelde en Maas and Rijn. The first three provinces were in the Old Netherlands, while the latter two also contained parts of other provinces. In 1801, the Province of Holland was created in the area formerly known as "Holland". Although this reform was short-lived, it also led to the idea of separating the "Netherlands" and reducing its power.
In 1807, the Netherlands was reconstituted. This time it was divided into two provinces: Amstelland (modern province of North Holland) and Maasland (modern province of South Holland). The reform did not last long. In 1810, all of the Netherlands became part of the French Empire. Amstelland and
Utrecht
Merged into the province of Zuiderzee, Maaslan was renamed Monden van de Maas.
In 1813, France was defeated. With the Constitution of 1814, the country consisted of provinces and regions (Landschappen). The province of Zuder Sea and the mouth of the Maas estuary were reunited to form the "Province of Holland". In the Constitutional Council, it was suggested that the name "Netherlands and West Friesland" should be re-adopted in order to respect the sentiments of the local people, but it was rejected.
However, the previous division was not fully revoked. When the province of Holland was re-established in 1814, two governing units were created, one from the former province of Amstelland (now the province of North Holland), and the other from Marsland (now the province of South Holland). Even when the two regions merge, sometimes the two regions are still perceived as distinct, and the idea of separation persists.
After 1840
After Haarlemmermel began to become land-based in 1855, it also became one of the provinces of North Holland, and in 1864 the province of South Holland received a large base of power: Leimuiden.
In 1942, the islands of Frieland and Tersheling were created as the Province of Friesland.
It was still an island in 1950
Ullke
It is classified as the Province of Upper Seisser.
In February 2011, there were calls for a merger of the provinces of Utrecht and Freeland, and the merger was approved
Cabinet of the Netherlands
In a major push, the agreement under this federation was to name the new province
Langstad
The Landstead region of the Province of South Holland wanted to join the new province in this rezoning plan, and most of the public opinion in favor of the rezoning of the provinces also wanted to merge these regions into one province, regardless of whether the province of South Holland Landstead joined the new province, there is no doubt that the Netherlands will become the largest province in terms of population.
