Stellendam

Stellendam is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland.

It is a part of the municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee, and lies about 9 km west of Hellevoetsluis.

The current name is a combination of "dam" and "small terps on a shoal which shepherds to use in case of floods".

In 1780, the Eendrachtspolder was enclosed by a dike, and shortly after a courthouse was constructed in Stellendam.

Afterwards, the dike was heightened and a new harbour was built after the construction of the Haringvlietdam.
