Lichtenvoorde former municipality

In 2004 the new municipality of Oost Gelre was formed by the merger of the former municipalities of Groenlo and Lichtenvoorde.

Lichtenvoorde is a municipality in the Achterhoek, East Gelderland. This area was already inhabited 5000 years ago. In the 10the century AD it became a 'heerlijkheid' - 'lordship', which was inherited by the Polish prince Adam Czartorisky, who sold it to Prince Willem V in 1776.

The old flag was divided vertically Yellow - Red and in the center the municipal Coat of Arms, crowned; it was adopted 1958, after it had been used for several years unofficially. The castle on the Coat of Arms reminds of the former castle Lichtenvoorde.
