Name

Zeewolde should arise originally east of Lelystad on the polder Eastern Flevoland. For the villages planned for that identified a commission set up historical place names from this area. So there are two names of no longer existing locations in a document of 793 AD " in silva que dicitur Seawald immersive Swifterbant ", from which we derived the names Swifterbant and Zeewolde. Since Zeewolde, was unlike Swifterbant, never built on the first polder, you used the name for the second place on Südflevoland.
