Heiloo is a municipality and a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. The community is part of the cooperation region Kennemerland and is also in the historical region of West Friesland.
Heiloo (From the Dutch: Heilige loo or holy forest) was given its name because Saint Willibrord supposedly performed a miracle there around 690. The village has a townhall from 1926 and a chapel from the 12th century known as the 'white church'. In the 1950s and 1960s the population grew quickly as many residents of Amsterdam moved to the area. The village is near the city of Alkmaar where many residents work and attend school.
