Borgercompagnie (in Dutch; Flemish pronounced as /ˌbɔrɣərkɔmpɑˈɲi/; Börkomnij pronounced as /ˈbœːkɔmˌnɛːi̯/) is a village in the Dutch province of Groningen. It consists of a single street with farms and houses on both sides. The village is about 7 km long. The north end lies close to Sappemeer in the municipality of Midden-Groningen, and the south end lies in the municipality of Veendam.[3]
The village was founded in 1647 by the Burger Compagnie (Citizen's Company) to exploit the peat.[3] Borgercompagnie is a linear settlement along the canal. The northern section of the canal was filled up after 1940.[4]
In 2005, a manure fermentation factory opened in Borgercompagnie. It was originally hailed as a progressive company and received a stimulation prize. It processes 35,000 tons of manure a year, and is in ongoing dispute with their neighbours and the municipality of Veendam due to the stench.[3]
