Westdorpe is a village in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Terneuzen, and lies about 31 km southeast of Vlissingen.
== History == The village was first mentioned in 1545 as Westdorp, and means "western village". West is relative to Axel. The original village was lost in a flood in 1545. It was rebuilt by 1570 to the south-west. In 1586, it was inundated as a result of the Dutch Revolt. The current Westdorpe dates from 1674 when the area was poldered. Westdorpe was part of the Spanish Netherlands until 1644 when it was conquered by the Dutch Republic.
