Moordrecht is a town and a former municipality in the
province of South Holland, situated along the river Hollandsche IJssel. The
name denotes a river crossing (drecht) through the Moor. Moordrecht was founded
after the draining of the polder in the 13th century. The village was twice the
site of a battle: in 1489 during the Hook and Cod wars (Dutch: Hoekse en
Kabeljauwse twisten) and in 1574 during the Eighty Years War. Economic
activities were the fabrication of sails and peat harvesting.
