Each municipality which existed as a separate entity on the first of January 1961, and no longer existed as such after the first of January 1977 is considered a ''deelgemeente'' within most municipalities.
In general these ''deelgemeenten'' are not a level of administration. Only in the city of Antwerp they are the lowest level of administration and are called districts.

Netherlands

''Deelgemeenten'' can be found in Rotterdam and Amsterdam. In Amsterdam 14 of the 15 ''deelgemeenten'' are called ''stadsdeel''.
