Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRIESLAND, or VRIESLAND , a province of Holland, bounded S.W., W. and N. by the Zuider Zee and the North Sea, E. by
Groningen
  and Drente, and S.E. by Overysel. It also includes the islands of Ameland and Schiermonnikoog (see FRISIAN ISLANDS). Area, 1281 sq. m.; pop. (1900) 340,262. The soil of
Friesland
  falls naturally into three divisions consisting of sea-clay in the north and north-west, of low-fen between the
south
 -west and north-
east
 , and of a comparatively small area of high-fen in the
south
 -
east
 . The clay and low-fen furnish a luxuriant meadow-
land
  for the
principal
 
industries
  of the province cattle-rearing and cheese- and butter-making.
Horse
 -breeding has also been practised for centuries, and the breed of black
Middle
  Sea. The seaport towns are more or less decayed;
they include Stavoren (82o), Hindeloopen (1030), Workum
(3428), Harlingen (q.v.) and Makkum (2456).
For history see FRISIANS.
