Midden-Groningen - The municipalities in East Groningen, The Netherlands
The municipality of Midden-Groningen was created in 2018 by the merger of the municipalities of Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Slochteren and Menterwolde. The merger was initiated as part of a municipal reorganization in the province of Groningen. The name of the municipality was chosen and eventually won with 48% of the votes of 'Hogewolden' and 'Woldmeren'.
It is a beautiful, diverse municipality, with natural beauty and a lot of tourist attractions worth visiting. The population is around 60,000 people, making the municipality the third largest in the province, after Groningen Stad and Westerkwartier. The largest city is Hoogezand.
