Woerden, Municipality and administrative center in Utrecht, Netherlands
Woerden extends across 92 square kilometers of land between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht, featuring both urban and rural landscapes.
The Romans established Castellum Laurum around 40 AD near the Oude Rijn river, marking the beginning of settlement in the Woerden region.
The central market place maintains the tradition of cheese trading since 1885, reflecting the enduring connection between Woerden and dairy production.
The railway station provides regular connections to major Dutch cities, with travel times ranging from 30 to 45 minutes to nearby metropolitan areas.
The municipality transferred from South Holland to Utrecht province in 1989, representing a significant administrative boundary change in modern Dutch history.
