Haarlem
City (pop., 1995 est.: 148,000), W Netherlands. It lies along the Spaarne River, west of Amsterdam. By the 12th cent. it had become a fortified town and the residence of the counts of Holland. It was chartered in 1245, and incorporated in the United Netherlands in 1577. Its prosperity peaked in the 17th cent., when it was a refuge for Huguenots and also an artistic center. An industrial city now, it is also the center for a tulip-growing region. Sites of interest include the 13th-cent. town hall and the 14th-cent. Great Church.
