Stolwijk, The Netherlands

Stolwijk is mentioned for the first time in 1320 in the registration of the count's fiefs in the Krimpenerwaard. On 19 September 1320 it is mentioned: "A farm, large 8 morgen, in Stolwijk above the church, east: Ticlenland".

Stolwijk has always been an agricultural municipality, living off the land, dairy cattle and cheese factory for centuries. The coat of arms also shows the sources of existence: the stacked cheeses. Only the origin of the crown on the coat of arms cannot be determined because at the time of the creation of the coat of arms no royal houses were known.
