Baarland is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Borsele, and lies about 21 km east of Middelburg.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1295 as Bae(r)land, and means "barren land". Baarland is a road village which developed in the Middle Ages on a ridge. In 1014, a North Sea flood resulted in the creation of the Oost-Borsele island. The hamlets on the island formed the Heerlijkheid Baarland. In 1295, an army of the County of Flanders landed in Baarland to revenge the plundering of Floris V, Count of Holland and Zeeland. After a long combat, the local armies managed to drive back the Flemish, however Baarland had to be rebuilt.
