Zeelandic Flanders
We are from Zeelandic Flanders (or Zeeuws Vlaanderen in Dutch), and quite proud of it! 😉
Here you'll find some posts about "our" part of the Netherlands.

Perhaps known to some: We are from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen or Zeelandic Flanders in English. Born and raised.
A beautiful piece of the Netherlands. Separated by the Western Scheldt and also divided into east and west by the canal from Ghent to Terneuzen or from Terneuzen to Ghent if you prefer.😉
An area with history, different dialects, beautiful places and proud citizens (who often tend more towards Flemish than Zeeland despite the lyrics in the national anthem). And we cherish a love/hate relationship with the Belgians AND the Dutch, yes even with the Germans. 😛

Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (Zeelandic Flanders), the northwestern part of historic Flanders, is the southernmost part of the Dutch Province of Zeeland. The region is separated from the rest of Zeeland by the estuary of the Westerschelde and has land borders with Belgium only. Since the administrative reformation of 2003, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is made of the three municipalities of Hulst, Sluis and Terneuzen.
On 6 January 2009, René Hoonhorst reports in “PZC” (Provinciale Zeeuwsche Courant) the official presentation of the flag of Zeelandic Flanders, held on 5 January in Terneuzen. The flag was designed by the expert in heraldry Dingeman de Koning, from Axel (Terneuzen).
