UrkUrk is a municipality and a town in the central Netherlands. Urk is first mentioned in the 10th century, when it was still an island in the Zuider Zee. In 1939, a dike from the mainland to Urk ended the town's island status. Later in the 20th century, surrounding areas were reclaimed from the sea. Still a fisherman's town, Urk's inhabitants are known as being very religious (Reformed). External links
