The area called the Low Countries (involving Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) and the Country of the Netherlands, have a similar toponymy. Spot names with Neder, Nieder, Nedre, Nether, Lage(r) or Low(er) (in Germanic dialects) and Bas or Inferior (in Romance dialects) are being used in low-lying places all over Europe. They are once in a while utilized in a deictic connection to a higher ground that sequentially is demonstrated as Super(ior), Up(per), Op(per), Ober, Boven, High, Haut or Hoch. On account of the Low Countries/Netherlands the geological area of the lower locale has been pretty much downstream and close to the ocean. The topographical area of the upper district, in any case, changed immensely over the long run, contingent upon the area of the financial and military force administering the Low Countries region. The Romans made a qualification between the Roman territories of downstream Germania Inferior (these days part of Belgium and the Netherlands) and upstream Germania Superior (these days part of Germany). The assignment 'Low' to allude to the locale returns again in the tenth century Duchy of Lower Lorraine, that covered a significant part of the Low Countries.[37][38] But this time the relating Upper district is Upper Lorraine, in these days Northern France. 

The Dukes of Burgundy, who managed from their home in the Low Countries in the fifteenth century, utilized the term les pays de standard deçà ("the terrains here") for the Low Countries, rather than les pays de standard delà ("the grounds around there") for their unique country: Burgundy in present-day east-focal France.[39] Under Habsburg rule, Les pays de standard deçà created in pays d'embas ("arrives down-here"),[40] a deictic articulation according to other Habsburg assets like Hungary and Austria.

From the mid-sixteenth century on, the "Low Countries" and the "Netherlands" lost their unique deictic significance. They were presumably the most normally utilized names, other than Flanders, a standards star toto for the Low Countries, particularly in Romance language-speaking Europe. The Eighty Years' War (1568–1648) partitioned the Low Countries into a free northern Dutch Republic (or Latinised Belgica Foederata, "Unified Netherlands", the forerunner condition of the Netherlands) and a Spanish controlled Southern Netherlands (Latinised Belgica Regia, "Imperial Netherlands", the antecedent province of Belgium).

The ancient times of the space that is currently the Netherlands was generally molded by the ocean and the streams that continually moved the low-lying geology. The most established human (Neanderthal) follows were found in higher soils, close to Maastricht, based on what is accepted to be around 250,000 years ago.[51] At the finish of the Ice Age, the traveling late Upper Paleolithic Hamburg culture (c. 13.000–10.000 BC) chased reindeer around there, utilizing lances, however the later Ahrensburg culture (c. 11.200–9500 BC) utilized bow and bolt.

Native late Mesolithic tracker finders from the Swifterbant culture (c. 5600 BC) were identified with the southern Scandinavian Ertebølle culture and were firmly connected to waterways and open water.[53] Between 4800 and 4500 BC, the Swifterbant public began to duplicate from the adjoining Linear Pottery culture the act of creature farming, and somewhere in the range of 4300 and 4000 BC the act of agriculture.[54] The Funnelbeaker culture (c. 4300–2800 BC), which is identified with the Swifterbant culture, raised the tombs, enormous stone grave landmarks found in Drenthe. There was a fast and smooth progress from the Funnelbeaker cultivating society to the container European Corded Ware pastoralist culture (c. 2950 BC). In the southwest, the Seine-Oise-Marne culture — which was identified with the Vlaardingen culture (c. 2600 BC), a clearly more crude culture of tracker finders — endure all the way into the Neolithic time frame, until it also was prevailing by the Corded Ware culture.

Bronze Age societies in the Netherlands 

Of the ensuing Bell Beaker culture (2700–2100 BC) a few locales of beginning have been proposed, prominently the Iberian landmass, the Netherlands and Central Europe.[55] They presented metalwork in copper, gold and later bronze and opened worldwide shipping lanes not seen previously, reflected in the revelations of copper ancient rarities, as the metal isn't ordinarily found in Dutch soil. The numerous finds in Drenthe of uncommon bronze items, recommend that it was even an exchanging focus the Bronze Age (2000–800 BC). The Bell Beaker culture formed locally into the Barbed-Wire Beaker culture (2100–1800 BC) and later the Elp culture (c. 1800–800 BC),[56] a Middle Bronze Age archeological culture having ceramic earthenware of bad quality as a marker. The underlying period of the Elp culture was described by tumuli (1800–1200 BC) that were unequivocally attached to contemporary tumuli in northern Germany and Scandinavia and was obviously identified with the Tumulus culture in focal Europe. The ensuing stage was that of incinerating the dead and putting their remains in urns which were then covered in fields, following the traditions of the Urnfield culture (1200–800 BC). The southern district got overwhelmed by the connected Hilversum culture (1800–800 BC), which obviously acquired social binds with Britain of the past Barbed-Wire Beaker culture.
