Ter Apelkanaal (Gronings: Troapelknoal [ˌtrʊːpl̩ˈknʊːl]) is a town in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is a part of the municipality of Westerwolde, and lies about 17 km (11 mi) northeast of Emmen.
The city of Groningen decided to dig a canal along the border with Drenthe in order to exploit the peat. The canal was finished in 1856 and named Ter Apelkanaal. The settlement was named after the canal.[3]
On 1902, construction started of a potato starch factory "Musselkanaal en Omstreken" in Ter Apelkanaal.[4] The factory is nowadays owned by Royal Avebe.[3]
Ter Apelkanaal used to be part of Vlagtwedde. In 2017, it was merged into Westerwolde.[3]
