's-Gravenzande
's-Gravenzande is de grootste stad in de Nederlandse gemeente Westland. Het ligt in de provincie Zuid-Holland. 's-Gravenzande is dan wel de grootste, maar niet de hoofdplaats van de gemeente. Dat is namelijk Naaldwijk. De stad heeft ongeveer 19.190 inwoners.
's-Gravenzande heeft als enige in Westland stadsrechten. De stad kreeg ze in 1246. Vroeger was hier het grafelijk hof. Daarom komt de stad aan zijn naam, 's-GRAVENzande. In tegenstelling tot bij Den Haag ('s-Gravenhage) is deze naam niet veranderd (verbasderd).

We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life. ~ John Lennon
