The town of Leusden

The place that is now called Leusden was first mentioned as Villa Lisiduna in a charter in 777. The location of that settlement (it is considered to have been a rather extensive farm complex with defenses) is unknown to us. It is possible that the old village of Oud-Leusden once was the location of Villa Lisiduna but excavations in the 1980s have not shown any evidence. However, the church tower of Oud-Leusden is one of the oldest towers in the Netherlands, dating back to the 11th century A.D. Events Charlemagne beats the Saxons. ...

In the 1970s, the agricultural towns of Leusbroek and Hamersveld grew out to a larger, mainly residential town. What once was Hamersveld is now called Leusden-Centrum and Leusbroek was to become Leusden-Zuid. However, Leusden is the common name these days. In the original plans Leusden would grow to around 46,000 inhabitants, but after the initial expansion phases there was growing resistance from the population. So some of the later phases of the expansion have been abandoned.
