Hengelo
Hengelo was never granted city rights as it was only a small village that expanded in the 19th century during the industrial revolution. In the late 19th century it rapidly developed after the construction of an important railway junction. This attracted industry with a focus on technology: Stork B.V., Hazemeyer, N.V. Heemaf (now part of France's Alstom, Brush HMA, Brush-Barclay, the United States' Eaton, Essent, Heemaf BV, NV Nuon, and Wabtec),KHZ (now AkzoNobel),and Hollandse SignaalApparaten,now taken over
