Oude Pekela, Agricultural village in Groningen, Netherlands
Oude Pekela extends along the Pekelderdiep river, featuring historical architecture and farmlands in the northeastern province of Groningen.
The settlement emerged in 1599 when the Friesche Compagnie purchased and divided land into 101 lots near the River Pekel A for peat exploitation.
The maritime heritage of Oude Pekela manifested through its 60 wharfs and 160 registered ships by 1863, marking the peak of water transportation.
The village connects to major routes through the N367 road leading to the A7 motorway, providing direct access to surrounding Dutch municipalities.
The area transformed from a peat extraction site to a maritime center and later became a significant producer of cardboard and potato starch.
