Hillegom
Hillegom () is a town and municipality in the western Netherlands, in the province of South Holland. Hillegom is part of an area called the Duin- en Bollenstreek ("Dune and Bulb Region"). As such, a large portion of the local economy was traditionally geared to the cultivation of bulb flowers. The name Hillegom is derived from the abbey named ''Hijlighem'' ( Old Frankish for "Holy Home"). This abbey no longer exists. The current Lord of Hillegom is Jan Six X. History Hillegom was formed on the eastern edge of the coastal dunes where the old Leiden to Haarlem route crossed the ''Hillegommerbeek'' (Hillegom's Creek), not far from the shores of the ''Haarlemmermeer'' (Haarlem's Lake). Places with the suffix "-heim" (or variant spellings) usually developed before the year 1000 and therefore it is assumed that this may apply to Hillegom as well. In 1150 the abbot of Egmond had the rights to naming priests in Hillegom, indicating that a church or chapel existed there. In 1248 the c ...
