It is located in the municipality of [[Oude IJsselstreek]]. The city lies about 7 km southeast of [[Doetinchem]]. The population is about 4600 inhabitants. Terborg is situated on the river the [[Oude IJssel]]. In the centre of the little city lies Castle Wisch, founded in the 13th century (hence the name "Terborg" which means "by the castle"). In the southeast of the city, near [[Silvolde]] lies a small nature reserve called the Paasberg ("Easter Mountain"). Terborg has a [[Terborg railway station|train station]] on the train route [[Arnhem]] - [[Winterswijk]], and trains call here twice every hour. Terborg received city rights in 1419. The patron saint of the city is [[Saint George]]. Its [[coat of arms]] still is Saint George on a horse, killing a [[dragon]]. Until 1813, Terborg was part of the [[fiefdom]] Wisch, together with the villages Silvolde en [[Varsseveld]]. Terborg was a separate municipality until 1818 when it was merged with Varsseveld into municipality [[Wisch (Gelderland)|Wisch]] (equal to the ancient fiefdom). In 2005 it formed municipality Oude IJsselstreek with municipality [[Gendringen]].<ref>{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}</ref> In 1945, the town's ''Chasdei Enosh'' synagogue was blown up and destroyed by Nazis.
