Dutch Polder - The Beemster - a photo on Flickriver

A small series about the Dutch Polder. The fourth one in the series.

De Beemster is a polder and municipality in the Dutch province of Noord-Holland. The municipality has 9702 inhabitants and has an area of 72 km² (of which 2.8 km² of water). Typically for the Beemster are its trees on the ring dikes as can been seen on the image.

Around 800, the area that now forms the municipality of Beemster was covered with peat. Beemster is derived from Bamestra, the name of a river in the area. Man exploitation of the peat in combination with storm floods led to the formation of a lake that was in open communication with the Zuiderzee.

In 1607, the States of Holland granted permission to drain the Beemster. 50 polder mills were used for this.

In 1610, when this was almost finished, the lake again filled up as a result of a break in the Zuiderzee dike. It was then decided to make the ring dike so high that it protruded one meter above the surrounding land. On 19 May 1612 the polder was dry and the Beemster polder was a fact.
