Delfshaven

Delfshaven is a borough of Rotterdam on the bank of the river Nieywe Maas, in South Holland, Netherlands. It became a separate municipality until 1886.
The town of Delfshaven grew around the port of the city Delft. Delft itself was not located on a river so in 1389 a harbor was created about 10 kilometers due south of the city to be able to receive seafaring vessels and avoid tolls being levied by the neighboring and competing city of Rotterdam. The settlement was named Delfshaven or port of Delft.
In July 1620 the Pilgrim Fathers left Delfshaven with the Speedwell area. Since then the town's Oude and Kerch has also been known as the Pelgrimskerk or in English the Pilgrim Fathers Church.
Fishing, shipbuilding, and the distillery of jenever were the main sources of income for Delfshaven. The Dutch East India Company had important wharfs and warehouses in Delfshaven and one of the Dutch West India Company's most famous commanders Piet Hein was born here.
Delfshaven was owned by the city and municipality of Delft until 1811 when it became a separate municipality. At its own request Delfshaven was annexed to Rotterdam in 1886. The current borough has some 73,000 inhabitants. Its small historic centre has been carefully preserved and features modest local museums, a brewery, and six or so dining and drinking facilities. The surrounding area is a typical modern urban area.
