Neerijnen municipality

Number of inhabitants (1 Jan 2003): 11.407; area: 73,01 km². Settlements: Neerijnen (seat), Est, Haaften, Heesselt, Hellouw, Ophemert, Opijnen, Tuil, Varik, Waardenburg.
In 1978 Neerijnen municipality was formed by the merger of the former municipalities of Est en Opijnen, Haaften, Ophemert (part), Varik, Waardenburg
Neerijnen is part of the Tieler waard in the Betuwe, western Gelderland. Formerly there was a municipality 'Waardenburg' of which the village Neerijnen was part. Neerijnen was the name of a castle, built c. 1350.

The flag is a departure of the trusted 'banenvlag', introducing new elements, important (I presume) to the community: the rivers and the fish. The new Coat of Arms of Neerijnen can be seen at:
