From sea to land. The history of the Noordoostpolder is rich in beautiful stories.
The Noordoostpolder is both a polder and a municipality. The municipality comprises 1 town, 10 villages and a separate postcode area.
Our landscape was conceived on the drawing board of designers some eighty years ago. Straight lines and a rigid layout of nature, agricultural areas and the villages around Emmeloord.
