Haarlem

Haarlem [ˈɦaːrlɛm] is a municipality and a city in the Netherlands, capital of the province of North Holland. It is located near the mouth of the Spaarne River, in the Noordzeekanaal, just 20 km west of the national capital, Amsterdam.
In 1658 the Dutch gave the name of Nieuw Haarlem ("New Haarlem") to the town of Manhattan, New York. Then, in 1664, when the British took control of the Dutch colony they baptized it with their definitive name: New York. Today a neighborhood in New York City is named after Harlem.
