For the historical duchy also called Gelderland, see Guelders
Gelderland (, English also Guelders) is a province of the Netherlands, located in the central eastern part of the country. The capital city is Arnhem. The two other major cities, Nijmegen and Apeldoorn have more inhabitants. Other major regional centers in Gelderland are Ede, Zutphen, Doetinchem, Harderwijk and Tiel.

History


The current province of Gelderland covers about the area of three of the quarters of the duchy Guelders. Guelders was a county in the late 11th century and then a duchy in the Holy Roman Empire, including also parts of the province of Limburg and of the German District of Cleves with the city of Geldern, the city that was the original seat of the dukes. It became part of the Habsburg Netherlands in 1543, one of the Seventeen Provinces, though not one of the richer or more densely-populated.

Currently (2006), the municipalities in Gelderland are as follows:
