Provincial capital: Utrecht
(land area 133,109 hectares/328,779
Utrecht, the smallest province in the Netherlands, is centrally situated, between Noord- and Zuid- Holland in the west and Gelderland in the east. The province is traversed diagonally by the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, a ridge of hills which marks the boundary between the upland country (Hoog- Nederland) and the lowlands (Laag-Nederland). The west of the province is occupied by drained moorland and expanses of pastures.
In Roman times the course of the Rhine was different from what it is today.
