Vlaardinger-Ambacht in 1866

The municipality existed between 1817 and 1941, when it became part of Vlaardingen.[1]

Before 1817, it was a so-called craftsmanship (an area with a feudal form of government dating back to the Middle Ages, with a 'gentleman' as central person) in the Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland (Delfland Water Board).[2]
