Hook of Holland

Village in South Holland, Netherlands

Hook of Holland is a coastal village in the southwestern corner of Holland, hence the name; hoek means "corner" and was in use before the word kaap – "cape". The English translation using Hook is a false cognate of the Dutch Hoek, but has become commonplace. It is located at the mouth of the New Waterway shipping canal into the North Sea. The village is administered as a district of the municipality of Rotterdam. Its district covers an area of 18.53 km2, of which 14.19 km2 is land. On 1 January 2023 it had an estimated population of 10,560.
