About Elburg
Elburg is a municipality and town by the Veluwemeer and Drontermeer. Elburg once was a small town living of fishing and trade located on the edge of the Zuiderzee. It is assumed that the city got its city rights between 1220 and 1271. On the fifth of September 1310 these city rights were revoked as Count Otto II of Guelders, who gave the city rights, did not have the right permissions to have done so, as he did not request the royal permission. The rights were restored and expanded upon by Count Reinald I in December 1312, giving Elburg the same set of rights asDoesburghad at the time. Several years later, in 1341, the city rights were expanded again, making Elburg equal toZutphen. Elburg used to consist of one long main road stretching to the north, where fishermen and traders put up shop
