History
The village was first mentioned in 1376 as Zeelant, and refers to Terra Salica, an inheritance system which excluded women.[3] Zeeland developed in the Middle Ages on the edge of the Peel region. The Catholic St Jacobus de Meerdere Church was built between 1871 and 1872 as a replacement for its medieval predecessor.[4]
Zeeland was home to 467 people in 1840.[3] Zeeland was a separate municipality until 1994, when it became part of Landerd.[5] Since 2022 it has been part of the new municipality of Maashorst.[3]
