The History of Flevoland
The province of Flevoland, of which Noordoostpolder is a part, is actually one of the youngest parts of the Netherlands. This area used to be underwater as part of the Zuiderzee. In the last century, it was reclaimed to make more room for agriculture and housing.
The Noordoostpolder was officially reclaimed in 1942 and was one of the Netherlands’ first major reclamation projects. What is now a thriving area was once a body of water. You can still see this unique history in the landscape and structure of the villages.
New residents, including farmers, settled in the area and developed innovative agricultural techniques. The fertile soil offered unprecedented opportunities, resulting in a thriving agricultural industry known for its diversity of products, from potatoes to flowers.
Flevoland is also rich in culture and history. The province is home to a mix of modern cities, such as Almere and Lelystad, and traditional villages that keep the region’s history alive. The link between past and present makes Flevoland a unique province.
