About Winterswijk
Winterswijk, which name means something along the lines of "Place whereWinterlives", was founded around the year 1000 and remained an isolated part of the country until 1830, when a road fromBorkentoZutphenvia the city was built. Ten years later, a wave of migration hit the town. Many of its citizens moved to theUnited States, particularlyMichigan. After 1870 the town became a producer of textiles and eight years later a railway connecting the town to Zutphen was established to benefit this textile trade. One of Winterswijk's most notable citizens has to bePiet Mondrian, who lived in Winterswijk from 1880 to 1892. During this period, Mondrian started the painting career that would make him famous.
