In 1952
The gemeenteraad adopts a bye-law giving every street and road in Nieuwveen an official name — for the first time ever.
On that occasion the names of the two men of the resistance who were killed are fixed: the Stationsweg becomes the W.P. Speelmanweg and part of the Oude Nieuwveenseweg becomes the A.H. Kooistrastraat. That explains the street names Roovers uses throughout without explanation.
Provenance This comes from the series J.J. Roovers set down up to 1970. The wording here is this site’s own. View the source
