Industriestad

Industriestad is an industrial neighborhood of Koningstad. It literally means "Industry City" in Dutch.

History
The Industriestad was officially established in the 1920s, though several factories were around since the 1900s. There was heavy growth which was only halted with WWII. The German in 1941 and 1942 destroyed many factories which were only rebuilt in the 1940s or early 1950s. There was only modest growth until the 1970s, when an economic boom resulted in more factories and production. Today the city is focused on making the quarter more "green" and cleaning it up.
