Oranjedorp
Oranjedorp is a village in the Netherlands and it is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe.

Oranjedorp started to develop when the Oranjekanaal [nl] was completed in 1858, and peat exploitation started in the area. In 1867, it was first mentioned as Oranjedorp. Even though the postal authorities have placed it under Nieuw-Dordrecht. it is considered a village. In 1932, it was home to 932 people. No church was built in Oranjedorp.

In 1988, a gas desulfurization plant of the Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij [nl] opened in Oranjedorp, and industry started to move to the village.
