Heuthenberg (/'hɜːθənbɜːrg/; Azmaran: Heþenburije; IJssentaal: Heuthenberg) is a port city and traditional seaside resort located on the west coast of Haadland, Azmara. Located on St. Wiljâm's Peninsula, the city is the westernmost settlement in Azmara, 1km along the coast from St. Wiljâm's Point, the westernmost point in Azmara.
The first records of the town come from the 13th century, denoting a fishing village with a small port under the name of Höthenburge in the modern location of the settlement.
The city had a population of 40,191 in the 2013 census, of which 60% describe themselves as fluent in the native IJssentaal language, making it the only district where a majority of the population speak the language.
