Huizen, Coastal village in North Holland, Netherlands
The municipality of Huizen spans across 23.32 square kilometers, including 15.81 square kilometers of land and 7.51 square kilometers of water territory.
The settlement evolved from an agricultural community into a prominent fishing center after constructing its harbor in 1850 near the former Zuiderzee waters.
The Dutch name Huizen, meaning houses, reflects the early presence of stone buildings in this area when neighboring settlements still used different construction materials.
The municipality maintains a population of 41,273 residents and operates without a railway station, relying on efficient road networks for transportation connections.
Following the construction of Afsluitdijk dam in 1932, Huizen transformed from a fishing community into an industrial center as the saltwater Zuiderzee became freshwater.
