Beverwijk, Administrative municipality in North Holland, Netherlands.
Beverwijk stands 20 kilometers northwest of Amsterdam, with the North Sea Canal forming its southern boundary and connecting to neighboring Haarlem through transport tunnels.
The settlement received city rights in 1298 from Count John I of Holland, expanding from a pilgrimage center focused on Saint Agatha Church during medieval times.
The municipality features multiple districts including IJmond urban center and Wijk aan Zee, reflecting a population mix of Dutch nationals, EU citizens, and international residents.
The transportation network includes railway connections and two motorway tunnels, providing direct access to Amsterdam, Haarlem, and other major Dutch cities in the region.
The municipality pioneered the Netherlands' first furniture retail boulevard in 1977, establishing a commercial tradition that continues along the Parallel Road.
