Provincial capital: The Hague
(land area 290,611 hectares/717,809
The province of Zuid-Holland (South Holland) lies in the west of the Netherlands, bounded on the west by the North Sea, on the north by Noord-Holland (North Holland), on the east by the provinces of Utrecht and Gelderland and on the south by Zeeland. Until they were separated in 1840 North and South Holland formed a single county.
The most important branch of agriculture is stock-farming, which accounts for almost half the province's agricultural land. After it come arable farming (30 per cent of agricultural land) and market gardening (two-thirds of it in hothouses).
South of The Hague is a large area given up to fruit and vegetable growing, with large auction halls at Naaldwijk and Bleiswijk.
