Did you know?[edit | edit source]
(On 1 January 1986 the Netherlands officially added, after more than one hundred years, a new province: Flevoland, with Lelystad as the capital. The crowning of the immense project to drain large parts of the IJsselmeer. After the Noordoostpolder and Eastern Flevoland, Southern Flevoland also dried up in 1968. The three polders all belong to the new province. The Romans gave the name Flevo to the inland sea that, after the Afsluitdijk was build, is now the IJsselmeer.)
