Oud-Beijerland, Former municipality in South Holland, Netherlands

The town of Oud-Beijerland extends along the Oude Maas and Spui rivers, encompassing an area of 19.61 square kilometers at sea level.

Count Lamoral of Egmont established Beijerland in 1559 through land reclamation, with the town receiving its current name in 1582 to differentiate from Nieuw-Beijerland.

The historical mansions along the Vliet reflect the commercial success of Oud-Beijerland merchants during the agricultural and fishing trade periods.

Located 12 kilometers from Rotterdam, Oud-Beijerland maintains direct road connections to major Dutch cities through multiple regional highways and waterways.

The town operated a tram connection to Rotterdam until 1955, known as Het Moordenaartje, which served as a critical transportation link for the region.
