+'''Tessenderlo''' ({{IPA-nl|təˈsɛndərˌloː}}; {{lang-li|Loei}}) is a [[Municipalities of Belgium|municipality]] in the [[Belgium|Belgian]] province of [[Limburg (Belgium)|Limburg]]. It is where the three Belgian provinces of Limburg, [[Flemish Brabant]] and [[Antwerp (province)|Antwerp]] meet at the front gate of the [[Averbode Abbey]]. The municipality Tessenderlo encompasses the villages of Tessenderlo proper, [[Schoot (Tessenderlo)|Schoot]], [[Engsbergen]], [[Hulst, Belgium|Hulst]] and [[Berg (Tessenderlo)|Berg]]. On January 1, 2006, Tessenderlo had a total population of 16,811. The total area is 51.35&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> which gives a [[population density]] of 327 inhabitants per km<sup>2</sup>. The name ''Tessenderlo'' means "''(the open place in) the forest of the [[Toxandri|Taxandrians]]''".
+
+It is along the [[Albert Canal]] and the [[European route E313]], the highway between [[Antwerp]] and [[Liège]], one of the reasons it was the place for the first Belgian "Industrial Zone of National Importance" in the 1960s.
+
+Tessenderlo was the scene of an infamous industrial disaster during World War II, when a stock of 150 tonnes of [[ammonium nitrate]] at the chemical plant of ''Produits Chimiques de Tessenderloo'' (now [[Tessenderlo Group]]) - located near the centre of town - exploded on April 29, 1942, killing 189 people at the plant and in the town.<ref>{{cite news |last=Goeman |first=Thierry |url=https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20170428_02856646 |title=Vergeten ramp van Tessenderlo kostte 75 jaar geleden aan 190 mensen het leven |language=Dutch |trans-title=Forgotten Tessenderlo disaster 75 years ago killed 190 people |work=[[Het Nieuwsblad]] |publisher=[[Mediahuis]] |date=2017-04-29 |accessdate=2019-02-04 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20170429160738/http://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20170428_02856646 |archive-date=2017-04-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
