History

The hamlet was already mentioned in 1284, when it was named Altinghen. In 1372 the spelling Altynghe appeared, and in 1377 Altinghe. In 1781 the current spelling Alting appeared for the first time, but from 1851 to 1855 it was referred to as Aalling. The toponym is a derivation with the suffix -ingi from the personal name Alte, therefore meaning "at the people of Alte". [2]

For a long time, the hamlet had only four farms, partly because it was situated on an es, a high-lying field, making expansion of the hamlet difficult. In 1840 the hamlet included six houses. In the twentieth century, the hamlet continued to grow. [3] Until 1998 it belonged to the municipality of Beilen until it merged with the municipality of Middenveld (which is named Midden-Drenthe since 2000).

The flag of Drenthe is the official flag of the Dutch province of Drenthe and was adopted on 19 February 1947. This flag was designed by Gerlof Auke Bontekoe. The traditional Saxon colours of red and white form the basis of the design. They also link it to the Archdiocese of Utrecht, which administered Drenthe when the area was still part of the Oversticht. Between the white base colour and the two red bands are six red stars and a black tower. The stars represent the districts Zuidenveld, Oostenmoer, Noordenveld, Rolde, Beilen and Diever. The tower is a historical reference to Coevorden Castle. From this castle, the viscounts of Coevorden maintained the law in the name of the bishop of Utrecht for a long time.
