Beverwijk (electoral district)

Fully located in the province of North Holland, it was centred on the city of Beverwijk and corresponded roughly to the Kennemerland region, running along the province's west coast, including the surroundings of Haarlem.

Aside from Beverwijk, it included the municipalities of Akersloot, Assendelft, Bloemendaal, Castricum, Egmond aan Zee, Egmond-Binnen, Haarlemmerliede, Heemskerk, Krommenie, Limmen, Schoten, Spaarndam, Uitgeest, Velsen, Westzaan, Wijk aan Zee en Duin and Zandvoort.

Members of the Dutch Reformed Church made up some 43% of the population in 1888, which also dropped to 37% to 1909.

[3][4] The district of Beverwijk was abolished upon the introduction of party-list proportional representation in 1918.

Beverwijk was a highly contested district, with control alternating between the Liberals and Free-thinking Democrats (VD) on the parliamentary left and the Catholics (Ka) on the parliamentary right.
