The name was used for a part of a long dyke in an area with 2 mills. It isn't on any official maps. On some maps it is called Keizersdijk (Emperor's Dyke) after the dyke that the houses are build along. Officially, around 1800 it was the village of Cillaarshoek (that's where the dyke has a church and a churchyard), but that ceased to exist soon. It was incorporated into another village. That's in The Netherlands. The dyke was named after Emperor Charles V. It was part of the route from Brussels to The Hague. It's likely that it was regained from the water in Charles V's time.Joan Boshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055926341623988772noreply@blogger.com
