Treaty of Maastricht (1843)

Treaty of Maastricht
Type	Bilateral treaty
Signed	8 August 1843
Location	Maastricht, Netherlands
Original; signatories	Belgium; Netherlands;
Ratifiers	Belgium; Netherlands;

The Treaty of Maastricht, signed in 1843 by Belgium and the Netherlands four years after the Treaty of London established Belgian independence,^[1] finally settled the border between the two countries.

Border enclaves[]

Inability to decide a clear line of demarcation in Baarle-Hertog resulted in the division of the disputed territory into 5732 separate parcels of land.^[2] These formed part of a very complicated frontier which sometimes passes through houses, and has tiny enclaves,^[3] due to land ownership dating back to the 12th century.^[4] Belgian enclaves in otherwise Dutch territory even have at times Dutch counter-enclaves within them.^[5]

Part of the left bank of the Meuse, near Maastricht, came back to the Netherlands.^[6]
