Woerdens Verlaat

The village originated around the lock in the Grecht, built in 1448, which was called the Woerdense Verlaat. The buildings grew in two regions: Holland and Utrecht. The Dutch part, located west of the Grecht and south of the Kollenwetering, fell under the Nieuwkoop court. The Utrecht part north of the Kollenwetering and around the meent was part of the court of Wilnis, while the part south of it belonged to the court of Kamerik. After 1813, the courts were transformed into municipalities and Woerdense Verlaat remained divided over three municipalities. It was not until 1 January 1989, after a municipal redivision, that Woerdense Verlaat, together with an illogically large part of Kamerik, was added to the municipality of Nieuwkoop.
