Ommelanden, the region around the city of Groningen, now together with this city forming the Dutch province of Groningen, where Anabaptism found entry as early as 1530. Menno Simons stayed here from the end of 1536 or early 1537 until 1540. Later on there were a number of Mennonite congregations in this area, nearly all belonging to the Groningen Old Flemish.
