HISTORY

Nieuw-Vennep is one of two towns that were officially founded after the drainage of the Haarlemmermeer. The other village was Hoofddorp. Until 1868, Nieuw-Vennep was called Venneperdorp, then the name was changed to De Vennep until the 1960s. The first inhabitants were agricultural workers who had to live under difficult conditions. Because of the harsh conditions, the village was nicknamed De Krim, derived from the Crimean War that raged between 1853 and 1856. Because Hoofddorp became the administrative and economic center of the municipality, the development of Nieuw-Vennep lagged behind. On November 2, 1862, the Dutch Reformed Church (the Witte Kerk) was inaugurated.

DEVELOPMENT

After World War II, Nieuw-Vennep experienced rapid growth. From fewer than 3,000 residents in 1958, it grew to about 14,000 residents in 1975 and 23,000 in 2003 and 30,000 in 2006.

NEIGHBORHOODS AND AREAS

The village consists of the following neighborhoods and areas: Oost, Welgelegen, West, Linquenda, Welgelegen-Noord, Centrum, Getsewoud-Zuid, Getsewoud-Noord, Industrieterrein Spoorzicht, Bedrijvenpark Nieuw-Vennep Zuid and Industrieterrein Pionier. Construction of Getsewoud-Zuid began in 1998 and Getsewoud-Noord in 1999. The construction of Getsewoud would double the population of 1997. In 2003, the completely renovated De Symfonie shopping center was opened. On the southern edge, the development of a walking park called Venneperhout began in 2008. This park runs from the Hoofdvaart canal to the IJweg. Four narrow, long-stretched parks have also been created in the Getsewoud-Zuid, Getsewoud-Noord neighborhood. These are the spring park, summer park, autumn park and winter park. These parks are contiguous and separate the different neighborhoods in Getsewoud with a bicycle path, walking path and a water feature with bridges.
