Flevoland is the youngest province of the country. It is only in 1918 that the Dutch Parliament passed the law deciding to turn part of the Ijsellmeer bay into the land. In 1932, the bay has been closed by a huge dam separating it from the see called Afsluitdijk – "Closing dam". There were other dams built inside the closed are of water and 1500 millions of cubic meters of water pumped away. Two previous islands of Urk and Schokland were incorporated into the new part of the mainland. Between 1942 and 1968, after a part the area has been dried down. The Dutch call such an artificially created area of land lying lower than the level of water a "polder".More info
