In 2014, it had a population of 582,640 and a total area of 2,960 km2 (1,140 sq mi). The area was subsequently part of Frisia, the Frankish Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, and the Dutch Republic, which is the precursor state of the Netherlands. In the 14th century, the city of Groningen became a member of the Hanseatic League. The capital of the province and the seat of the provincial government is the city of Groningen. |
