The town hall was originally a See also:palace of the See also:counts of Holland, begun in the 12th See also:century, and some old 13th-century beams still remain; but the See also:building was remodelled in the beginning of the 17th century.

At the See also:head of the scientific institutions of Haarlem may be placed the Dutch Society of Sciences (Hollandsche Maatschappij See also:van Wetenschappen), founded in 1752, which possesses valuable collections in See also:botany, natural See also:history and See also:geology.

time. See also:Cloth See also:weaving and See also:brewing, which once flourished exceedingly, declined in the beginning of the 16th century. A century later, See also:silk, See also:lace and See also:damask weaving were introduced by See also:French refugees, and became very important industries. But about the See also:close of the 18th century this remark-able prosperity had also come to an end, and it was not till after the Belgian revolution of 1830–1831 that Haarlem began to develop the manufactures in which it is now chiefly engaged. See also:Cotton manufacture, See also:dyeing, See also:printing, See also:bleaching, brewing, type-See also:founding, and the manufacture of tram and railway carriages are among the more important of its industries. One of the printing establishments has the reputation of being the See also:oldest in the See also:Netherlands, and publishes the oldest Dutch See also:paper, De Opragte Haarlemmer Courant. Market-gardening, especially See also:horticulture, is extensively practised in the vicinity, so that Haarlem is the seat of a large See also:trade in Dutch bulbs, especially hyacinths, tulips, fritillaries, spiraeas and japonicas.
Haarlem, which was a prosperous place in the See also:middle of the 12th century, received its first town See also:charter from William II., count of Holland and king of the See also:Romans, in 1245. It played a considerable See also:part in the See also:wars of Holland with the See also:Frisians. In 1492 it was captured by the insurgent peasants of North Holland, was re-taken by the See also:duke of See also:Saxony, the imperial stadholder, and deprived of its privileges. In 172 Haarlem joined the revolt of the Netherlands against See also:Spain, but on the 13th of See also:July 1573, after a seven months' See also:siege, was forced to surrender to See also:Alva's son See also:Frederick, who exacted terrible vengeance. In 1577 it was again captured by William of See also:Orange and permanently incorporated in the See also:United Netherlands.
