The village is situated on the Veluwe. It lies north of Terschuur and east of Hoevelaken. Like its neighbour Nijkerkerveen, Zwartebroek was founded as a result of the peat extraction in the area.[3]
In 1840, it was home to 596 people. In 1850, a church was built in the village.[4]
Etymology
editThe name Zwartebroek is a combination of the words zwart and broek. Broek is the Dutch term for wet or swampy land. Zwart is the Dutch word for black and might be a reference to the dark color of the land. Broek is also the Dutch word for trousers, but this common translation is incorrect.[5]
