The port of the Waasland (Dutch: ''Waaslandhaven'') is in Beveren, on the left bank of the Schelde, facing the port of Antwerp on the other side of the river.

The earliest inhabitants erected primitive dams, which were later reinforced and built higher by the religious communities that sprang up in the region.

Beveren thus became the oldest political centre of the Waasland region — the northeastern part of the historical Coun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
