Pomponius wrote about this: "The northern branch of the Rhine extends to Lake Flevo, which encloses an island of the same name and then flows to the sea like a normal river." Other sources speak of Flevum, which means 'flow'. The process continued and gradually the Zuiderzee arose from this lake.

This took in the former small islands <a href="/wiki/Urk" title="Urk">Urk</a> and <a href="/wiki/Schokland" title="Schokland">Schokland</a>.

Thus, the <a href="/wiki/Flevopolder" title="Flevopolder">Flevopolder</a> became an artificial island joined to the mainland by bridges.

The two main drainage canals that traverse the dike can be closed by <a href="/wiki/Floodgates" class="mw-redirect" title="Floodgates">floodgates</a> in such an event. The pumping stations are the <i>Wortman</i> (<a href="/wiki/Diesel_engine" title="Diesel engine">diesel</a> powered) at Lelystad-Haven, the <i>Lovink</i> near <a href="/wiki/Harderwijk" title="Harderwijk">Harderwijk</a> on the eastern dike and the <i>Colijn</i> (both <a href="/wiki/Electric" class="mw-redirect" title="Electric">electrically</a> powered) along the northern dike beside the <a href="/wiki/Ketelmeer" title="Ketelmeer">Ketelmeer</a>. </p><p>A new element in the design of Eastern Flevoland is the larger city <a href="/wiki/Lelystad" title="Lelystad">Lelystad</a> (1966), named after <a href="/wiki/Cornelis_Lely" title="Cornelis Lely">Cornelis Lely</a>, the man who had played a crucial role in designing and realising the Zuiderzee Works. Other more conventional settlements already existed by then; <a href="/wiki/Dronten" title="Dronten">Dronten</a>, the major local town, was founded in 1962, followed by two smaller satellite villages, <a href="/wiki/Swifterbant" title="Swifterbant">Swifterbant</a> and <a href="/wiki/Biddinghuizen" title="Biddinghuizen">Biddinghuizen</a>, in 1963. These three were incorporated in the new municipality of <a href="/wiki/Dronten" title="Dronten">Dronten</a> on 1 January 1972. </p><p>Southern Flevoland has only one pumping station, the diesel-powered <i>De Blocq van Kuffeler</i>. Because of the hydrological union of the two Flevolands, it simply joins the other three in maintaining the water level of both polders. Almere relieves the housing shortage and increasing overcrowding on the old land. Its name is derived from the early medieval name for <a href="/wiki/Almere_(lake)" class="mw-redirect" title="Almere (lake)">Lake Almere</a>. Almere was to be divided into three major settlements initially; the first, <i>Almere-Haven</i> (1976) situated along the coast of the Gooimeer (one of the peripheral lakes), the second and largest was to fulfill the role of city centre as <i>Almere-Stad</i> (1980), and the third was <i>Almere-Buiten</i> (1984) to the northwest towards Lelystad. In 2003, the <a href="/wiki/Municipalities_of_the_Netherlands" title="Municipalities of the Netherlands">municipality</a> made a new <i>Structuurplan</i> which started development of three new settlements: <i>Overgooi</i> in the southeast, <i>Almere-Hout</i> in the east, and <i>Almere-Poort</i> in the West. In time, <i>Almere-Pampus</i> could be developed in the northwest, with possibly a new bridge over the <a href="/wiki/IJmeer" title="IJmeer">IJmeer</a> towards <a href="/wiki/Amsterdam" title="Amsterdam">Amsterdam</a>. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Oostvaardersplassen" title="Oostvaardersplassen">Oostvaardersplassen</a> is a landscape of shallow pools, islets, and swamps. Originally, this low part of the new polder was destined to become an industrial area. Spontaneous settlement of interesting flora and fauna turned the area into a nature park, of such importance that the new railway line was diverted. The recent decline in agricultural land use will in time make expanding <i>natural</i> land use possible, and connect the Oostvaardersplassen to the <a href="/wiki/Veluwe" title="Veluwe">Veluwe</a>. </p><p>The centre of the polder most closely resembles the prewar polders in that it is almost exclusively agricultural. In contrast, the southeastern part is dominated by extensive forests. Here is also found the only other settlement of the polder, <a href="/wiki/Zeewolde" title="Zeewolde">Zeewolde</a> (1984), again a more conventional town acting as the local centre. Zeewolde became a municipality at the same time as Almere, on 1 January 1984, which in the case of Zeewolde meant that the municipality existed before the town itself, with only farms in the surrounding land to be governed until the town started to grow. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 235px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 230px;
