Halfweg

Halfweg is a Dutch toponym, literally translating to "halfway." It commonly refers to:

• Halfweg (North Holland): A village in the Dutch province of North Holland, situated in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer. It is located approximately halfway between Haarlem and Amsterdam, hence the name. Historically, it served as an important point on the route between these two cities, and featured significant infrastructure such as sluices and tollhouses.

• Halfweg (Groningen): A hamlet in the Dutch province of Groningen, part of the municipality of Westerwolde. Its name also reflects its location roughly halfway between two other settlements or points of interest, though the exact reference is less clear than in the case of the North Holland village.

• Figurative Usage: In Dutch, "Halfweg" can also be used figuratively to indicate a location or point that is roughly equidistant between two others, even if no officially named "Halfweg" exists in that context.
