The Buren County was a territory situated in what is now the Dutch province of Gelderland. It was an independent county[clarification needed - when did it become independent from the HRE?] until the establishment of the Batavian Republic in 1795. Although it was not formally part of the United Provinces, in practice it was governed by it.
