List of Cities and Towns in The Netherlands

Cities and Towns in The Netherlands

The first city to be granted city rights in the Kingdom of the Netherlands was Deventer in 956, however, some cities such as Nijmegen may have received their city status during the Roman Empire or the city of Voorburg, who was granted city status in AD 151. The last city to receive city status was Delfshaven in 1825.  The institution of city status gradually came to an end with the development and centralization of a national government.

In the 19th century, a number of important towns wanted to call themselves cities, the custom of granting city status was briefly revived, and the Hague received a city status, among other major towns.

Some towns, cities and Municipality might not have any information within the City rights section, this could be that the information is either not available or before city rights were established.

Cities in the United Kingdom

City status in the United Kingdom is granted by the British monarch to some communities.  Becoming a city is not automatic, but many people think that any town that has a cathedral is a city. This is because Henry VIII built cathedrals in six English towns and also granted made them cities by letters patent. A city council does not have any more powers than a borough or district council. – Definition Source: Wikipedia

Please note that not all cities have no dates in the City Status, this is because the status predates any known historical records.
