Tips from the Community
History: formerly Buitenland was marshland. Over the centuries, dikes were built and land was reclaimed. The name "Buitenland" (also "Buytenland" or "Buijten landt") presumably refers to land reclaimed from the marshes outside the dikes. Until 1845, the area was almost uninhabited. After further land reclamation, the hamlet grew into a residential nucleus, stimulated by the family business. The hamlet has no church or school. It remains to this day a biologically valuable area.
