Oldemarkt (Stellingwerfs: Ooldemark) is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Steenwijkerland, about 12 km west of Steenwijk. Oldemarkt was a separate municipality until 1973, when it became a part of IJsselham.[3]
History
It was first mentioned in 1336 as Dodovene meaning "Bog of Dodo (person)". In 1448 it became "den Olden markt" meaning "the old market".[4] In 1448, a chapel was built which was elevated to church in 1489. Oldemarkt was known for its butter market which moved to Wolvega in 1925.[5] In 1840, it was home to 1,983 people.[6]
In 1973, it ceased to be an independent municipality, however the town hall of IJsselham remained in Oldemarkt. In 2001, it was merged into Steenwijkerland.[6]
