The Treaty of Maastricht, signed in 1843 by Belgium and the Netherlands four years after the Treaty of London established Belgian independence,[1] finally settled the border between the two countries.

Inability to decide a clear line of demarcation in Baarle-Hertog resulted in the division of the disputed territory into 5732 separate parcels of land.

[5] Part of the left bank of the Meuse, near Maastricht, was returned to the Netherlands.
