The municipality of Coevorden, located in the southeastern corner of the province of Drenthe, was established in its current form on 1 January 1998 as a result of the municipal reorganisation of Drenthe. The municipality comprises the old city of Coevorden and a number of rural villages that offer attractive living environments, such as Dalen, Sleen, Oosterhesselen, Zweeloo and Aalden. The municipality is 30,000 ha in size and has a population of approximately 36,000. 
The southeastern corner of Drenthe is ideal for sports and recreational activities, or for simply relaxing at one of the first-rate recreational parks in the area. The varied Drenthe landscape is excellently suited for bicycling, with routes that take you past historical Saxon farmhouses, flocks of sheep and megalithic tombs. It is therefore no wonder that 1.7 million overnight stays are booked in the area every year!

The municipality of Coevorden also has much to offer in economic terms, with nine industrial estates and an excellent infrastructure. One of the newest industrial estates - the Europark - measures 350 hectares. and is a Dutch-German cross-border initiative. Europark offers access to the Dutch-German railway networks, a waterway (for 600-metric tonne and, in the future, 1000-tonne ships) and wide roads with easy access to the Dutch A37 and German A31 motorways.
