Hennaarderadeel

Located in the northern Netherlands, the area was known for its predominantly rural character and small villages.

Hennaarderadeel was situated in the central part of Friesland, bordered by other municipalities such as Baarderadeel to the north and Wymbritseradeel to the south.

The area was characterized by flat, open landscapes typical of Friesland, with a mix of farmland, small canals, and rural settlements.

Hennaarderadeel’s origins date back to medieval times, when it functioned as a grietenij (an administrative division unique to Friesland).

Littenseradiel, in turn, was divided into the municipalities of Leeuwarden, Súdwest-Fryslân, and Waadhoeke in 2018 as part of a provincial initiative to streamline local governance.
