Vlaardingen buss (Vlaardinger buis)

Post by Anatol » Sun Nov 16, 2025 5:59 pm

The city of Vlaardingen is known primarily as a herring town.
The history of Vlaardingen as a town dates back to the 8th century. Vlaardingen likely received its town charter before 1273, as Count Floris V granted town charters in 1273, indicating that they were an expansion of previously granted charters. Herring fishing has been an important economic activity for Vlaardingen since at least the 18th century. Vlaardingen developed into the most important fishing port in the region.
Herring fishing was primarily carried out on the herring-boats owned by the town's fishermen- «Vlaardinger buis».
