Overview
Markelo developed on the east flank of the Template:Ill.[2] It was first mentioned in 1188 as Marclo, and means either "forest near communal ground" or "forest near border".[3] The Dutch Reformed Church has a 15th-century tower, but the building dates from 1840.[2] In 1818, it became an independent municipality. In 1840, it was home to 793 people.[4]
In 1836, the gristmill De Hoop was built near Markelo. It was restored in 1991.[5] Markelo used to be an agricultural village, however the eastern side of the village has become a residential zone.[2] In 2001, it became part of Hof van Twente.[4]
Sports
Since 1932, the motor club "Ons Genoegen" has organised a motocross in Markelo. Originally the circuit was at Markelose Berg, but in 1947, the venue changed to Herikerberg where the terrain is more uneven.[6] The motocross has turned into an international event.[7]
