About
About Hengelo
Hengelo is a city in the eastern part of the Netherlands, in the Twente region, in the province of Overijssel. It is part of a larger urban area that also includes Enschede, Borne, Almelo and Oldenzaal.
Hengelo started out as just another hamlet, and only gained growth during the Industrial Revolution, which made the town a city by bringing textile industries to the region. Over time, this industry moved to nearby Enschede, which made space for more heavy industry, starting with C.T. Stork opening a heavy machinery part factory into the city in 1868. Stork was soon followed by Hazemeyer, Heemaf, the Royal Dutch Saltindustry and Hollandse Signaalapparaten. The growth in industry brought a boom to the city's inhabitants.

The nearest airport with scheduled flights is Münster Osnabrück Airport (FMO), about 63 km from the city centre in a straight line; Weeze (Niederrhein) Airport (NRN, 86 km) and Groningen Airport Eelde (GRQ, 96 km) are also within reach.
Getting in
Getting from Amsterdam to Hengelo could not be any more straightforward. To do so, simply head for the A1, which you use to drive towards Amersfoort. Simply follow the A1 past Barneveld, Apeldoorn and Deventer until the A1 merges with the A35 near Borne, and then separates ways again shortly after. At this point, use the A1's exits 30 and 31 to get to northern Hengelo and the A35's exits 27 and 28 to get to west Hengelo. Getting to Hengelo from Arnhem and the Southern Netherlands is less straightforward.
