Overview
Overview
Westwoud received city rights in 1414, along with the villages of Westerblokker and Oosterblokker. This mainly meant it could form its own judicial district, which was abolished in 1811. It was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1979, when it merged with Hoogkarspel and Oosterblokker to form the municipality Bangert, which was changed to Drechterland in 1980.
