Haarlem

            Haarlem is a city and municipality in the Netherlands and the capital of the province of North Holland. The city lies on the river Spaarne.

Haarlem is first mentioned in literary sources in the 10th century. In the source the place is mentioned under the name 'Haralem'. Archaeological research shows that 1500 years before our era there was already inhabitation in the area around the Spaarne. The place originated as a ghost settlement on a beach ridge, over which a country road ran that connected the north of Holland with the south.

The city became the seat of the Counts of Holland and in 1245 Count Willem II granted Haarlem city rights. Due to its favorable location on the Spaarne and the aforementioned connecting road, the city was able to develop rapidly. In the 13th and 14th centuries, the city's economy revolved mainly around beer brewing, shipbuilding and cloth manufacturing. In the 15th century, the economy declined. This was partly due to the riots in that period in Holland and West Friesland.

After 1680, things went badly for the textile industry in Leiden as well as in Haarlem. The population of Haarlem fell in 1815 to below 20,000.

In 1839 the first train in the Netherlands ran on the Amsterdam - Haarlem railway line.
