Delden
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delden is a city in the province of Overijssel and, since 2001, in the municipality of Hof van Twente. Although its population is small, it gained city-rights in 1333. Castle Twickel is a famous landmark near Delden and the Baron van Heeckeren of Twickel built a watertower in Delden that helped Delden earn city status. While drilling for water, the Baron's men discovered salt, which started the salt industry in Twente.
The town has a railway station on the line Zutphen-Hengelo.
