About Oud-Beijerland

Oud-Beijerland is a metropolis and municipality in the western Netherlands, inside the province of South Holland. With a population of 24,275 in 2017, it is the most populous municipality at the Hoeksche Waard island. The town is placed adjoining to the confluence of the Oude Maas and Spui River. The municipality of Oud-Beijerland also includes the communities Vuurbaken and Zinkweg. After the St. Elizabeth's flood, big components of the islands Putten and Grote Waard were lost and have become clay banks and salt marshes which could be inundated at excessive tide and be improper for habitation.

In next centuries, quantities of land would be reclaimed. Oud-Beijerland changed into shaped in 1559 as "Beijerland" by using Lamoral, Count of Egmont. He changed into granted the rights to this region in 1557 and had the land reclaimed. This new polder was named Beijerland, Moerkerken, Cromstrijen en de Greup. Circa 1624 the smaller polders Bosschenpolder and Nieuwlandpolder have been delivered to it. Beijerland changed into named after Sabina of Bavaria, wife of the Count of Egmont.
