Huise
Huise is a village and ''deelgemeente'' (sub-municipality) on a hill within the municipality of Kruisem, part of the province of East Flanders in Belgium. History It was mentioned in an 877 charter (granting permission to build a church for the village, then part of the parish of Mullem) as 'villa uscias', an incorrect Latinisation of the Indo-Germanic hydronym "usa-ja". Corbie Abbey had major possessions in Huise, donated to them around 825 by their former abbot Adalard of Corbie, who had been born in Huise. Mainly a farming village, it has also had a linen manufacture since the Middle Ages and has grown flax since the 14th century. In the 16th century the Protestant Reformation gained a huge following in the village and many of its inhabitants emigrated to the Dutch Republic. Its position on the high ground meant it played an important part in the 1708 Battle of Oudenaarde. Agnès della Faille d'Huysse was Huise's mayor from 1927 to 1970.

Municipality
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate. The term ''municipality'' may also mean the governing body of a given municipality. A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district. The term is derived from French and Latin . The English word ''municipality'' derives from the Latin social contract (derived from a word meaning "duty holders"), referring to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy). A municipality can be any political jurisdiction, from a sovereign state such as the Principality of Monaco, to a small village such as West Hampton Dunes, New York. Th ...

Herefor, ''sections'' or ''deelgemeenten'' usually were independent municipalities before the fusions in the 1970s.
