<div id="ygrps-yiv-1117044928">I have just looked it up. It was on January 1, 1986, that Flevoland <br/>
came into existence.<br/>
<br/>
Flevoland consists of (a.o.) two polders with that name: East and <br/>
South Flevoland. Hence the confusion, perhaps. The other parts are <br/>
the Noordoostpolder (North East Polder) and the islands Urk and <br/>
Schokland.<br/>
