About Ghent

Ghent is a town and a municipality in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is the capital and largest city of the East Flanders province, and the second one largest municipality in Belgium, after Antwerp. The city originally started as a settlement at the confluence of the Rivers Scheldt and Leie and within the Late Middle Ages became one in all the biggest and richest towns of northern Europe, with some 50,000 human beings in 1300. It is a port and college metropolis. Archaeological proof indicates human presence within the location of the confluence of Scheldt and Leie going back as a ways as the Stone Age and the Iron Age.

Most historians believe that the older name for Ghent, 'Ganda', is derived from the Celtic phrase ganda this means that confluence. Other assets join its name with an obscure deity named Gontia. There aren't any written information of the Roman length, but archaeological research confirms that the location of Ghent was in addition inhabited. When the Franks invaded the Roman territories from the end of the 4th century and nicely into the 5th century, they added their language with them and Celtic and Latin were replaced by using Old Dutch.
