Westmaas (Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is located about 14 km south of the city of Rotterdam, next to Mijnsheerenland in the municipality of Hoeksche Waard.[1] In 2020, the population was 2,065.[2]
Westmaas developed after the Munnikenland was enclosed by a dike in 1439.[3] The village was founded by Carthusian monks.[4] It became an independent parish in 1458. The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church built in 1651. It was restored between 1966 and 1967.[3]
Westmaas was home to 768 people in 1840.[4] Westmaas was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1984, when it became part of Binnenmaas.[5] Since 1 January 2019, it is part of the new municipality Hoeksche Waard.[1]
