About Ruigoord

Ruigoord is a village. Location: Gemeente Amsterdam, North Holland. Elevation: -4 m.

From Wikipedia

Ruigoord (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈrœyx.oːrt]) is a village in the Houtrak polder in North Holland, Netherlands, situated within the municipality of Amsterdam. Until the 1880s, it was an island in the IJ bay, which was turned into a polder. In the 1960s, the municipality planned to extend the Port of Amsterdam. From 1972 onwards squatters occupied buildings and started a free zone. After resisting eviction in 1997, the area was legalized in 2000.
