The city of Buren
The earliest known reference to the settlement dates from 772[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buren#endnote_Stenvert-2000). The castle built by the Lords of Buren is first mentioned in 1298. The town was granted city rights in 1395 by Alard IV of Buren, which led to the construction of a defensive wall and a moat. Significant parts of these still exist. In 1492 the region was promoted to a county (i.e. ruled by a count), but due to its isolated position it never became very important economically. City rights are a medieval phenomenon in the history of the Low Countries. ... Events End of reign of Hungary by Capet-Anjou family. ...

Martin Van Buren was born on December 5, 1782, in the village of Kinderhook, New York.
Thus, at an early age, Van Buren became acquainted with politicians, heard their discussions of issues and events, and presumably learned a great deal about history, politics, and the means by which men attempt to influence one another to achieve their political goals.
Martin Van Buren's formal education was acquired at the local village academy, from which he was graduated at the age of 14.
Van Buren was born in the village of Kinderhook, New York, approximately 25 miles south of Albany, the state capital, as the third of five children.
Van Buren's attitude towards slavery at the moment was shown by his vote, in January 1820, for a resolution opposing the admission of Missouri as a slave state (though he himself was a slave owner).
The rejection, ostensibly attributed in large part to Van Buren's instructions to Louis McLane, the American minister to England, regarding the opening of the West Indies trade, in which reference had been made to the results of the election of 1828, was in fact the work of Calhoun, the vice-president.
