Foxhol

It is sometimes explained as relating to Nittert Fox, a Saxon knight who was killed in 1499 at Foxhol, however the village was first mentioned in 1460 as Vossehol.In 1842, the Eureka factory was opened in Foxhol, because it was close to the potato fields, near a lake with clean water, and well connected to the outside world.[7] Eureka was very successful, and Scholten would end up owning 24 factories across Europe, and was one of the founders of the Nederlandsch-Amerikaansche Stoomvaart-Maatschappij which became later known as the Holland America Line.Frederik André Möller worked in the laboratory of Eureka and had tried to develop an instant breakfast cereal, due to the popularity of corn flakes in the United States.It was a cheap surrogate product, therefore, after World War II, an extensive publicity campaign started to propagate Brinta.[12] The 311 people at Coenraadpolder were members of CRAMS, a resistance organisation which aimed to liberate South Maluku.
