Tynaarlo (pronounced as /nl/; Gronings: Tynaorl) is a village and municipality in the Northeastern Netherlands. Although it is located in the province of Drenthe, many of its communities serve as suburbs of the neighbouring city of Groningen, capital of the eponymous province. In 2019, the municipality of Tynaarlo had a population of 33,698.
The municipality of Tynaarlo was established in 1998 as the merger of the former municipalities of Eelde, Vries and Zuidlaren; it was supposed to retain the name of the latter, but after the two first voiced their discontent, the name of the smaller central village of Tynaarlo was chosen.
The village of Tynaarlo is a part of the municipality and lies about 9km (06miles) north of Assen. It is situated between the three largest villages of the municipality: Zuidlaren, Eelde and Vries. Tynaarlo is located close to the motorway A28, which is a connection to the south and the west of the country.
In 2001, the village of Tynaarlo had 1,009 inhabitants. The built-up area of the village was 0.29km2; it contained 427 residences.[5] The statistical district of Tynaarlo, which also includes the surrounding countryside, has a population of 1,920.[6]
