Enschede
According to the most common explanation, the name Enschede goes back to'An die Schede\\\', which probably referred to a swampy border area. Enschede arose in the early Middle Ages as an agricultural settlement. The textile industry developed in the eighteenth century and Enschede grew into the most important center of textile production in the Netherlands.
