Middelie

Middelie is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland.

It is a part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam, and lies about 5 km northeast of Purmerend.

The village was first mentioned in 1277 as Homines de Middela, and means "the middle river".

[3] Middelie developed in the 12th century as a peat excavation settlement.

During the Reformation, Mennonites settled in the village, and used to make up half the population until the 20th century.
