History
Vlaardingse Schouw

From 1282 until the end of the 18th century, Zouteveen was a heerlijkheid. It was governed from the Vlaardingse Schouw, an inn which still exists; it is now a national monument. In 1482, a chapel was built at a crossroads in the middle of the area. This chapel became the centre of the hamlet De Kapel. The chapel was demolished In 1719.[1]

In 1812, the local jurisdictions in the Netherlands were reorganised, and initially Zouteveen became a part of the municipality of Vlaardingen. However, it became a separate municipality in 1817.[2] The municipality of Zouteveen consisted of two parts.[3] The largest part was located in the Zouteveensche Polder, between the Noordmolensloot in the North and the Zweth in the south. A small disconnected area about 4 km south was also part of the municipality. This part contained the Roman Catholic church of Zouteveen. The cemetery Emmaus in Vlaardingen is located here now.

In 1855, the municipality Zouteveen was disbanded and the area became part of the municipality Vlaardinger-Ambacht.[2]

gollark: "Black lives matter, as do all lives but we've decided to focus on black ones for this"
gollark: I do feel like some vaguely associated stuff like, say, actually privileging black people over other ones in some scenarios is bad.
gollark: I mean, it would be weird to not want racial equality.
