Hoofddorp

'Main Village') is the main town of the municipality of Haarlemmermeer, in the province of North Holland, the Netherlands.

After the draining of the Haarlemmermeer, two villages, Kruisdorp (Crossvillage) and Venneperdorp (Vennepervillage), were founded in the centre of the polder.

In 1856, the first windmill in the Haarlemmermeer was built in the centre of Hoofddorp by Dirk David van Dijk.

[5] These railway lines, operated by the Hollandsche Electrische-Spoorweg-Maatschappij [nl] (HESM), were closed on 31 December 1935.

In 2002, Hoofddorp was connected to Haarlem, Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Zuidoost by the high quality bus line Zuidtangent.

[7] In 2009 came the Second line from Amsterdam Zuid railway station to Nieuw Vennep Getsewoud [nl].

The bus station at Spaarne Hospital in Hoofddorp is the world's biggest structure built entirely from synthetic materials: factory-cut polystyrene foam with a polyester skin.

[9] The Netherlands Aviation Safety Board, during its existence, had its head office in Hoofddorp.
