Bussum, Residential town in Gooise Meren, Netherlands
Located in the Gooi region of North Holland, Bussum spans 8.15 square kilometers with tree nurseries and natural heathlands at an elevation of 1 meter.
The settlement, first documented in 1306, transformed from a small hamlet with sheep pens into an independent municipality after separating from Naarden in 1817.
The town gained national recognition when it hosted the first Dutch television broadcast in 1951, maintaining television studios until 1964.
Two railway stations, Naarden-Bussum and Bussum Zuid, connect residents to Amsterdam and other major cities in the Netherlands through regular train services.
From 1898 to 1907, Bussum contained a socialist colony inspired by Thoreau's Walden, established by Frederik van Eeden, combining literature with social experimentation.
