A province in the north of the Netherlands. Area: 3,381 km2, population: 599,190 (1989), capital: Leeuwarden. Formerly a local name. Four Wadden Islands, excluding Texel, belong to the province. Agriculture and livestock are thriving, and industrial development has lagged behind, with the workforce moving to the industrial areas in the west of the Netherlands, but recently industry has been developing in the eastern region. The name "Friesland" comes from the Frisii, who settled along the North Sea coast between the Netherlands, Germany (East Friesland), and Denmark.

オランダ北部の州。面積3381km2,人口59万9190(1989),州都レーワルデン。古くは地方名。テクセル島を除く四つのワッデン諸島も同州に属する。農牧業が盛んで,工業の発展は後れ,労働人口はオランダ西部工業地域に流出していたが,最近は東部地域に工業が発達しつつある。〈フリースラント〉という地名はオランダ,ドイツ(東フリースラント),デンマークにまたがる北海沿岸地域に定住していたフリシイFrisiiに由来する。
