Merendree is a village in the Belgian province of East Flanders and is a submunicipality of Deinze. It was an independent municipality until the municipal reorganization of 1977. The village is located in the south of Meetjesland, at the intersection of the Gent-Brugge Canal and the Schipdonk Canal.[1]
The earliest written mention of the village is from the year 722 as Merendra.[2] In 2024, the remains of a Roman vicus were found.[3][4]
