Geertruidenberg received city rights in 1213. Today it's part of the province of Noord Brabant, but Geertruidenberg was once part of the county of Holland. Geertruidenberg is the oldest city of Holland as it was the first to receive such rights. It's a common misconception that Gertruidenberg is the oldest city of The Netherlands, because the names Holland and The Netherlands are used interchangeably by some.
