About Voeren

Voeren is a Flemish municipality with bilingual Limburgish and Walloon population, located in the Belgian province of Limburg. Bordering the Netherlands to the north and the Walloon province of Liege Dutch: Luik to the south, it is geographically detached from the rest of Flanders, making Voeren/Fourons an exclave of Flanders. Voeren's name is derived from that of a small right-bank tributary of the Meuse, the Voer or Foron, which flows through the municipality. The current municipality of Voeren/Fourons was established by the municipal reform of 1977. On 1 January 2008, Voeren/Fourons had a total population of 4,207. Its total area is 50.63 km2 19.55 sq mi, giving a population density of 83 inhabitants per square kilometre 210/sq mi.

About 25% of the population is made up of foreign nationals, most of whom have Dutch nationality. Since the 11th century, two-thirds of the territory of the present municipality of Voeren was in the county of Dalhem, which was a possession of the Dukes of Brabant, and the remaining one-third in the Duchy of Limburg, which also belonged to Brabant after 1288. Both of these Duchies were part of the Holy Roman Empire but they developed a relatively independent regime ruled by powerful dynasties. They successively became part of the Burgundian Netherlands, the Habsburg Netherlands, and after the Dutch Revolt, part of the Spanish, later Austrian controlled, Southern Netherlands.
