BRABANT

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 357 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BRABANT , the central and
metropolitan
  province of Belgium, is formed out of
part
  of the ancient duchy. From 1815 to 1830; that is to say, during the existence of the kingdom of the Nether-lands, Belgian Brabant was distinguished from Dutch by the employment of the geographical terms
South
  and North. The surface of Brabant is undulating, and the highest points, some 400 ft. in altitude, are to be found at and near Mont St
Jean
 . The province is well cultivated, and the
people
  are well known for their industry. There are valuable stone quarries, and many manufactures flourish in the smaller towns, such as
Ottignies
 , as well as in the larger cities of Brussels and
Louvain
 . Brabant contains 820,740 acres or 1268 sq. m. Its
principal
  towns are Brussels,
Louvain
 , Nivelles, Hal,
Ottignies
 , and its three administrative divisions are named after the first three of those towns. They are subdivided into 5o cantons and 344 communes. In 1904 the
population
  of the province was 1,366,389 or a proportion of 1077 per sq.m.
