IJsselmonde is a river island in the Netherlands, between the Nieuwe Maas, Noord and Oude Maas branches rivers of the Rhine-Meuse delta in the province of South Holland. The city of Rotterdam now occupies most of the northern part of the island and includes the eponymous former village of IJsselmonde, once a separate community. The island was once a rich agricultural region but is mostly suburbs today. Only the mid-south parts of the island have retained their agricultural character.

Boundaries

IJsselmonde is separated by these waterways:

• from the mainland on the north by the Nieuwe Maas
• from the island of Putten on the west by the Oude Maas
• from Hoeksche Waard on the south by the Oude Maas
• from the island of Dordrecht on the southeast by the Oude Maas
• from the Alblasserwaard mainland on the east by river Noord

Municipalities and regions

IJsselmonde consists of the following six municipalities:

• Albrandswaard
• Barendrecht
• Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht
• Ridderkerk
• Rotterdam (southern part)
• Zwijndrecht

Albrandswaard, Barendrecht, Ridderkerk and Rotterdam belong to the region of Rijnmond, Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht and Zwijndrecht belong to the region of Zuid-Holland Zuid.

Zwijndrechtse Waard

Originally the Zwijndrechtse Waard, on which the municipalities of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht and Zwijndrecht and the village of Rijsoord (partially) lie, was a separate river island, the western branch of river Waal separating the two. However, as the Waal stretch has been closed off at both ends, the Waard is now generally considered to be part of IJsselmonde. The dammed western end of the Waal river is now popularly referred to as Waaltje ("little Waal").

Эйсселмонде (нидерл. IJsselmonde) — речной остров в Нидерландах в дельте Рейна и Мааса. В настоящее время северная часть острова вошла в городскую черту Роттердама, и деревня Эйсселмонде стала частью города. В связи с тем, что рукав реки Ваал, который отделял остров Эйсселмонде от острова Звейндрехтсевард, был перекрыт с обоих концов плотинами, в настоящее время Звейндрехтсевард стал частью острова Эйсселмонде.
