Stellendam is a village in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Goeree-Overflakkee, and lies about 9 km west of Hellevoetsluis.The village was first mentioned around 1750 as "'t Stelle Gors". The current name is a combination of "dam" and "small terps on a shoal which shepherds to use in case of floods". The dam refers to the Statendam which was constructed in 1751. Stellendam developed after the dam was built. In 1780, the Eendrachtspolder was enclosed by a dike, and shortly after a courthouse was constructed in Stellendam.
