== History == In March 2005, the municipal council of Slochteren approved the master plan of Meerstad. The name is a combination of meer (lake) and stad (city), and was planned to become a suburban planned town with 10,000 houses for 30,000 people by 2026. The town would be built on a area, and would cater to middle income families. In 2006, the construction of the central lake started, and in 2008, the first houses were built. Slochteren would be responsible, however it would be built in cooperation with the city of Groningen.
