Maastricht is the oldest city in the Netherlands.
Maastricht and Nijmegen have been battling for years for the baton of supremacy as to which city is the oldest in the Netherlands.
The dispute between the two towns remains unresolved to this day.
Maastricht and Nijmegen were not officially granted city status until 1204, but surviving historical sources clearly show that long before this date, Maastricht was thriving and looked nothing like the average medieval settlement.
Nijmegen, on the other hand, can boast a reference to the city being granted a town charter while the Romans were still ruling the area, around 89.

Maastricht may be the oldest city in the Netherlands, although some claim that Nijmegen holds the title. Either way, it has been inhabited continuously since Roman times, evolving from a Roman settlement to a religious centre, a garrison city, and an early industrial city.
