Heusden-Zolder (Flemish: [ˌɦøːzdə(n) ˈzɔldər]; Limburgish: Heuze-Zolder [ˌɦøːzəˈzɔldəʀ])[tone?]

After their closure (the mine in Zolder was the last one in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg to close in 1992) most of the immigrants chose to stay, which makes Heusden-Zolder a relatively multicultural place.

The town hall, a large glass construction, is located in Zolder centre since the merger.

As a compromise, the former town hall of Heusden is now used instead by the local social security department (OCMW).

Heusden-Zolder has an oceanic climate due to Gulf Stream influence, in spite of its inland position.
