The History of Almere: From Sea to City
|
Almere is unique: our city was built on the bottom of the former Zuiderzee. After Flevoland was reclaimed in 1968, construction started in the 1970s as an overflow municipality for Amsterdam. From the first neighbourhood (Almere Haven), the city quickly grew into the modern, diverse centre it is today. We continue to innovate and grow, while staying true to the original pioneering spirit that shaped the city.
