History

The province North Holland was formed in 1840, when the province Holland was split in to a northern and southern part (South Holland). In 1940, the islands Vlieland and Terschelling were ceded to the province Friesland. In 1950, the former island Urk was ceded to the province Overijssel. In the time of the United Provinces the province of Holland was known as the province of Holland and West-Friesland. This represented the conquest of West-Friesland in the early medieval age. The coat of arms of North-Holland still shows this and is a combination of the coats of Holland and Friesland. 1840 is a leap year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...
