Enschede or Eanske in the local dialect (Twents) is a municipality and a city in the eastern Netherlands, in the province of Overijssel, in the Twente region.
The municipality of Enschede consisted of the city of Enschede until 1935, when the ruralmunicipality of Lonneker, which completely enclosed the city was annexed after the rapid industrial expansion of Enschede, which had begun in the 1860's and involved the building of railways and the digging of the Twentekanaal.
The city is cooperating with the nearby municipalities of Almelo, Borne and Hengelo as Netwerkstad Twente.
