T nHE only exploited coal field in the Netherlands lies in the extreme south of the country, in the province of Limburg. This province consists of a curiously shaped appendix that projects southward between Germany and Belgium for more than 25 miles and widens from a narrow corridor 3 miles across to more than 20 miles further south. Its history has been complicated. It was granted by the 1839 Treaty of London to the King of Holland in a personal capacity, but was not fully incorporated into the Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1867. It is a curious fact that though the Limburg coal field is probably the oldest to have been worked in continental Europe, its modern development is more recent than that of any other, with the exception of its neighbor to the west, the Kempenland field of northeastern Belgium
