About Flevoland

Flevoland is the twelfth and ultimate province of the Netherlands, established on 1 January 1986, whilst the southern and eastern Flevopolders were merged into one provincial entity. It is located within the centre of the country, where the previous Zuiderzee turned into. Almost all of the land belonging to Flevoland was reclaimed most effective in the Fifties and Nineteen Sixties. The province has about 407,905 population and includes 6 municipalities. Its capital is Lelystad and most populous town Almere. Flevoland is bordered in the acute north by Friesland, inside the northeast with the aid of Overijssel and in the northwest by using the lakes Markermeer and the IJsselmeer. In the southeast the province borders on Gelderland, and inside the southwest on Utrecht and North-Holland.

Flevoland turned into named after Lacus Flevo, a name recorded in Roman resources for a massive inland lake on the southern end of the later-fashioned Zuiderzee. The call Flevoland is derived from Lake Flevo, or Lacus Flevo, as it turned into mentioned by the Roman geographer Pomponius Mela in his De Chorographia in 44 AD. Due to the slowly rising sea level, some of lakes step by step developed inside the Zuiderzee vicinity, which ultimately have become contiguous. Pomponius wrote about this: "The northern branch of the Rhine extends to Lake Flevo, which encloses an island of the equal call and then flows to the ocean like a normal river."
