Overijssel
Netherlands, Netherlands
Overijssel is a northeastern province in the Netherlands, named for its location beyond the IJssel River, with Zwolle as its capital and Enschede as its largest city.
Originally part of the bishops of Utrecht's domain and sold to Habsburgs in 1527, it joined the seven United Provinces during Dutch independence, boasting medieval Hanseatic trade hubs like Kampen, Deventer, and Zwolle until Amsterdam's rise around 1500.
Covering 3,421 square km of glaciated lowlands, sandy soils, peat bogs, heathlands, and canals fed by the IJssel, Vecht, and Regge rivers, it supports dairy farming, orchards, and industry in areas like Twente, Salland, and Vechtdal, with natural reserves such as De Weerribben for waterfowl and recreation.
