BEST
Best
Best is a
municipality and a village in the southern
Netherlands. It's situated northwest of the city
Eindhoven, and Best is also part of the agglomeration of this city. The village was part of a neighbourhood town, called
Oirschot but, as Best was situated on the state road from
Amsterdam to
Maastricht, this often gave extra difficulties. Each time a troop of soldiers wanted to stay for a while in Best, they had to request this 10 km away, in Oirschot to be allowed. This made
The Hague decide to separate Best in
1819.
