The 19 municipalities of the Brussels-Capital Region[1][2] (French: Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest) are the political subdivisions of Belgium's central region.[3] The government of each municipality is responsible for the handling of local level duties, such as law enforcement and the upkeep of schools and roads within its borders.[4] Municipal administration is also conducted by a mayor, a council, and an executive.[4]

In 1831, Belgium was divided into 2,739 municipalities, including the 19 in the Brussels-Capital Region (which at that time did not exist).[5] Unlike most of the municipalities in Belgium, the ones located in the Brussels-Capital Region were not merged with others during mergers occurring in 1964, 1970, and 1975.[5] However, several municipalities outside of the Brussels-Capital Region have been merged with the City of Brussels throughout its history including Laken, Haren, and Neder-Over-Heembeek, which were merged into the City of Brussels in 1921.[6]

The largest and most populous of the municipalities is the City of Brussels, covering 32.6 square kilometres (12.6 sq mi) with 175,534 inhabitants. The least populous is Koekelberg with 21,525 inhabitants, while the smallest in area is Saint-Josse-ten-Noode which is only 1.1 square kilometres (0.4 sq mi). The latter also has the highest population density of the 19 with 24,847 inhabitants per km².
