2e Valthermond (before 2009: Tweede Valthermond) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 16 km north of Emmen.
The hamlet was first mentioned in 1899 as "Valthermond (Noord en Zuid)", and means "the second (canal) which has its mouth (at a main canal) belonging to Valthe". The eponymous canal was dug in 1861. 2e (second) has been added to distinguish between Valthermond.[3] [4] In 2009, its name was officially changed to 2e Valthermond.[5] The canal was dug to excavated the peat from a raised bog.[5]
