More DescriptionPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Zaan is a small river in the province of North-Holland in The Netherlands and the name of the district through which it runs. The river was originally a side arm of the IJ bay and travels 10 kilometers through the municipality of Zaanstad (Zaan City) north of Amsterdam, from West-Knollendam in the north to Zaandam in the south, where it empties into the IJ.The municipality of Zaanstad and several towns along the Zaan are named for the river: Koog aan de Zaan, Westzaan, Oostzaan, Zaandijk and the city of Zaandam. The river also runs past the Zaanse Schans, a village with historic windmills and houses. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Netherlands.
