Blaricum

Blaricum extends across 15.59 square kilometers of North Holland province, containing traditional farmhouses, modern villas, and protected architectural monuments.

The settlement originated in the 14th century with approximately one hundred basic dwellings and gained formal recognition as a farming community in 1388.

The municipality displays its identity through three blue cornflowers on a silver field coat of arms, introduced during Queen Emma's 1897 inauguration.

The municipal office at Eemnesserweg 19 provides administrative services for 11,954 residents, with governmental operations conducted through a 13-seat council.

The name Blaricum stems from the combination of personal name Blaheri with inga and heem, translating to a specific person's dwelling place.
