History In the Middle Ages, Nuland was part of the Kwartier van Maasland of the Meierij van 's-Hertogenbosch. The oldest mention of Nuland dates from November 11, 1299, when the inhabitants of Nuland were given land to cultivate (gemeynt) and also obtained municipal rights from John II, Duke of Brabant.

A castle was built around 1500 by Jan van Vladeracken, immediately north of the bowl, on the Singel. It was a round castle that was destroyed in the French era.

Municipalities Of The Netherlands Disestablished In 2015
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate.

Postal Codes In The Netherlands
Postal codes in the Netherlands, known as ''postcodes'', are alphanumeric, consisting of four digits followed by two uppercase letters. The letters 'F', 'I', 'O', 'Q', 'U' and 'Y' were originally not used for technical reasons, but almost all existing combinations are now used as these letters were allowed for new locations starting 2005. The letter combinations ' SS', ' SD' and ' SA' are not used because of their associations with the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The first two digits indicate a city and a region, the second two digits and the two letters indicate a range of house numbers, usually on the same street. Consequently, a postal address is uniquely defined by the postal code and the house number. On average, a Dutch postal code comprises eight single addresses. There are over 575,000 postal codes in the Netherlands .
