In 2013, the town of Noordeloos had 1816 inhabitants. The built-up area of the town was 0.14 km2, and contained 300 residences.[1] The statistical area "Noordeloos", which also can include the peripheral parts of the village, as well as the surrounding countryside, has a population of around 370.[2]
Noordeloos was a separate municipality until 1986 when it became part of Giessenlanden.[3]
Noordeloos is also the name of a small community in Ottawa County, Michigan. It was created in the mid-1800s by Dutch settlers (who, at the time were also settling in nearby Holland and Zeeland) and was named after the original Dutch town.
In a book called The Shortest History of Migration, the economist Ian Goldin explains the concept of chain migration or network migration by noting that 90% of Dutch migrants from South Holland to the United States settled in three American towns, one of which was Noordeloos's namesake in Michigan.[4]
