Nestled near the Brussels-Capital Region, Sint-Stevens-Woluwe has a unique story to tell. Sint-Stevens-Woluwe is actually part of the Zaventem municipality in the Flemish Brabant province. The town’s name, both in Dutch and French (Woluwe-Saint-Étienne), hints at a key feature: the Woluwe River flowing through it. This river connects Sint-Stevens-Woluwe to other nearby areas like Sint-Pieters-Woluwe and Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe. Interestingly, Sint-Stevens-Woluwe has a history intertwined with Brussels. In 1921, it became part of the bilingual Brussels agglomeration. However, by 1932, it reverted to being solely Dutch-speaking due to the percentage of French speakers falling below 30%. This makes Sint-Stevens-Woluwe the only municipality to have ever left the Brussels agglomeration. The town later became part of Zaventem in 1977 during a major municipal reorganization in Belgium. Today, Sint-Stevens-Woluwe sits in the Brussels Periphery and is essentially a part of the larger Brussels urban area. This proximity to Brussels, especially bilingual areas like Haren, Evere, and Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, has resulted in a significant French-speaking presence within Sint-Stevens-Woluwe.
