Ostende (in Dutch Oostende) is a city in Belgium, located in the Flemish Region in the province of West Flanders. In 2012, it had 71,921 inhabitants. In the beginning, there was an island (Terstreep) in front of the Belgian coast, and Ostend was its easternmost village (Oost means "east" in Dutch; ende is an old form of einde, end, end). At the other end, there was Westende. Between the two villages, there was Middelkerke (middel means "middle" in Dutch and kerk means "church", or "church in the middle" of the two villages). Ostend is a port city and cosmopolitan, nicknamed the "queen of the beaches" or the "most British city" by the English.
