Template:'t Zandt (Script error: No such module "IPA".; Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Eemsdelta.
't Zandt was a separate municipality until 1990, when it was merged with Loppersum.[1] The municipality covered the villages 't Zandt, Zeerijp, Leermens, Eenum and Oosterwijwerd, and the hamlets Zijldijk, Kolhol, Korendijk and 't Zandstervoorwerk.[2]
History
The village was first mentioned in 1257 as "in Sonde", and means sand. That year, the monks of Template:Ill started to a dike in order to polder the former Fivel estuary. The polder was completed in 1266, and a sluice was constructed in 1272.[3] At the intersection of the new dike and the perpendicular older dike, a settlement appeared.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the late-13th century, and was enlarged in the 15th century. The tower is detached from the church, and dates from the early 13th century.[4]
't Zandt was home to 779 people in 1840.[5] In 1990, it ceased to be an independent municipality and was merged into Loppersum.[5]
