Deventer (Dutch: [deːvəntər] (listen); Sallands: Daeventer) is a city and municipality in the historic region of Salland in the province of Overijssel, the Netherlands. In 2020, Deventer had a population of 100,913. The city is largely located on the eastern bank of the IJssel River, but also has a small portion of its territory on the western bank. In 2005, the municipality of Bathmen (with a population of about 5,000) was merged with Deventer as part of a nationwide effort to reduce bureaucracy in the country.
Deventer is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands,[4] mentioned as early as 9th-century sources from the diocese of Utrecht. A charter from 877 AD mentions seven farms in Daventre portu[5] (the port of Deventer). In 952 AD, Deventer is mentioned as a city on a gift certificate from King Otto I.[6] After gaining more and more rights and privileges over time, the place received municipal land from Emperor Henry V in 1123. This is considered by historians to be the moment when Deventer obtains city rights by its inhabitants.[7] The city has the oldest stone house, the oldest walking park and with the Athenaeum library also the oldest scientific library in the Netherlands.
