Burgemeester Amersfoordtlaan - Badhoevedorp (Netherlands)
Burgemeester Amersfoordtlaan 02/03/2021 13h28
Badhoevedorp is very shady most of the year due to the huge trees almost in every street. If you prefer sunlight in Summer, Badhoevedorp is the best place. The Burgemeester Amersfoordtlaan is very dark during sunny Summerdays.
Badhoevedorp
Badhoevedorp is a town in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, and lies next to the Ringvaart around Haarlemmermeer ('the canal around the former Lake Harlem') at the side of the polder bordering Amsterdam / Amstelveen.
The Rijksweg 9 passes next to the town, from 8 August 1967 to 10 April 2017, the motorway passed through the town, however it was diverted, with the original section being closed and demolished to make place for new development in the area.
Badhoevedorp is named after the Badhoeve model farm of Jacob Paulus Amersfoordt, mayor of Haarlemmermeer. This farm, built in 1854, was named after a beach at the then Haarlemmermeer on the spot where later the no longer existing Akerbad was located in Sloten, where there was a bathing facility. This farm attracted attention soon after its construction because of its revolutionary farming methods. Queen Sophia, among others, has visited the farm.
Initially Badhoevedorp was little more than a few houses around the model farm "de Badhoeve" on the ring dike of the Haarlemmermeer, but from the 1930s the village was expanded as a garden village near Amsterdam. In this way, the employees of nearby Schiphol could be offered housing. The vast majority of the new population came from the city. This, and the proximity to Amsterdam, will cause Badhoevedorpers to feel even more connected with the city than with Haarlemmermeer. From the late 1930s to the early 1970s, the village was the largest of the Haarlemmermeer.
Population: 12.930 (2020)
