Veenoord is a village in the Netherlands and it is part of the Emmen municipality in Drenthe. It forms a single urban area with Nieuw-Amsterdam. Vincent van Gogh stayed in the Scholte Inn during his Drenthe period.
== History == Veenoord translates to "bog settlement". Even though this suggests a peat colony, it was never a property of a company or city. The settlement started in 1859 when the Verlengde Hoogeveensche vaart was dug. The name Veenoord first appeared in 1899. In 1907, the potato starch factory Excelsior opened in the village, and remained until 1980.
