Wormerveer

Wormerveer developed in the 15th century on the west bank of the Zaan river. It started to industrialise with windmills in the 17th century, however none of the windmills exist any more. The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1639 to replace the medieval church which was destroyed in 1574 by Spanish troops.

Wormerveer was a separate municipality until 1974, when it became a part of the new municipality of Zaanstad.
