Land van Heusden en Altena
The Land of Heusden and Altena is a region located in the Dutch province of North-Brabant. In 1904 it consisted of the historical regions Land of Altena and Land of Heusden.
The Land of Heusden and Altena lies on a river island in the estuary of the rivers Rhine and Meuse. It is enclosed by the rivers Boven Merwede, Afgedamde Maas and Oude Maasje/Bergse Maas and by the region of De Biesbosch.

Unlike most parts of North Brabant the Land of Heusden and Altena has a strong Protestant character. Former Prime Minister Hendrikus Colijn had his roots in this region.
