Русская версия Province of East Flanders East Flanders is a province of Flanders, one of the three regions of Belgium. It borders on (clockwise from the North) the Netherlands and the Belgian provinces of Antwerp, Flemish Brabant, Hainaut and West Flanders. Its capital is Ghent. It has a surface area of 2991 km², a population of 1,361,000 inhabitants, and is divided into six administrative districts (arrondissementen in Dutch) which contain 65 municipalities. In Medieval times, half of the modern province (everything north and west of the River Schedlt) belonged to the much wider County of Flanders, comprising also the totality of the province of West Flanders as well as the northern half of the Nord department in France. The castle of the Counts of Flanders has always been located in Ghent.
