The area was given the name "Waddinxvene". Because of this event, Waddinxveen celebrated its 750-year anniversary in 1983. Between 1817 and 1870, Waddinxveen was dissolved and its area split into the municipalities of Noord-Waddinxveen and Zuid-Waddinxveen.〔Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, ''Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten'', KNAW, 2006, p. 191 ((Online edition ))〕 Due to further expanding, those two municipalities reunited into one. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waddinxveen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
