Geerdijk

Geerdijk is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel.

Geerdijk was founded in the mid-19th century along the canal Almelo–De Haandrik as a peat excavation village.

[3][4] It was a Catholic enclave which was settled by colonists from neighbouring Germany and the area around Slagharen and Dedemsvaart.

[5] It was closed, because there were not enough passengers and Arriva wanted to increase the speed to allow an extension of the line to Hardenberg.

[6] Geerdijk used to be part of the municipality of Den Ham.
