Valthermond is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 18 km north of Emmen.
== History == The village was first mentioned between 1851 and 1855 as Valther Mond, and means "(canal) which has its mouth (in a main canal) belonging to Valthe". It is named after the eponymous canal which was dug in 1833 to excavate the peat in the area. A second canal was later dug, and that village and canal were named 2e Valthermond. The village was founded in 1853, and is one of the longest excavation settlements of the Netherlands.
