Fivelgo
Fivelgo (also: Fivelingo ) is a landscape in the Dutch province of Groningen . The western border was once the Maarvliet, while the Tjamme as the eastern border roughly coincides with the eastern border of the municipality of Slochteren . Fivelgo borders in the west on Hunsingo , in the east on the Oldambt and the Ems estuary and in the south on the Gorecht .
The name Fivelgo refers to the "Gau der Fivel", a former river in this area. Fivelgo was the second member of the Ommelander Union. At first Garrelsweer was the most important place, later Appingedam took over this function. Just like Hunsigo, Fivelgo was originally a Frisian district and was located in the so-called Little Friesland .
Fivelgo consisted of the districts Duurswolderadeel, Hoogelaandsteradeel and Oosteradeel. In the 13th century the provincial quarters were abolished and Fivelgo was regarded as a unified area. The country was exposed to frequent flooding. Important ancient Frisian text sources have been preserved from Fivelgo .
