Naarden is to be found on the A1, a major highway between Amsterdam and Utrecht.
By 1131 it was one of the largest cities in the Netherlands, recognized by many as the capital and the emperor of Germany, Otto I, gave the control of the city to the monks residing in the monastery at Eelde, principally to the owner of the monastery – Count Wichman II van Hamaland.
Naarden was subsequently captured twice, by the French and by the Prussians, during the Napoleonic Wars.

The entire process takes less than two seconds, said Rob Van Naarden, vice president of marketing and sales for Sensar, a commercial spinoff of Sarnoff Laboratories, which was involved in the development of color television and the laser and did much of the work on the iris ID system.
But those services are being held back by the possibility of fraud through stolen bank cards, personal identification numbers and passwords, Van Naarden said.
Although Van Naarden would not give a current cost, he said that once the system is widespread, it will add $2,000 to $3,000 to the cost of an average ATM machine, which now runs $35,000 to $40,000.
