"The former name of Haarlem was Haarloheim, a residence on a higher sandbar in the forest. Haarlem only became a 'real' city in 1245 when it received the city rights of count Willem II of Holland.
From that moment Haarlem grew into one of the most important cities in Holland. During the Eighty Years' War, Haarlem fiercely opposed Spanish rule. Once in the hands of William of Orange many Flemings moved to the city, whose influences are still visible today. In the Golden Age, Haarlem was a popular home and residence for the rich and powerful.
Peter Stuyvesant founded 'Nieuw Haarlem' on the east coast of the USA in 1658. In 1664 the English took over the colony and gave the place the name 'Harlem'. Today, Harlem is part of the city of New York in northern Manhattan."
