Although Welsummer chickens are associated with Welsum, Holland the breed was originally developed in the area along the river Ysel to the north of Deventer, Holland at about the same time as the Barnevelders (1900-1913).
Fortunately efforts were made to improve the breed and a farmer's son from the village of Welsum made trial crossings with other breeds especially Barnevelders and it was this crossing which proved to be the most stable and constant.
Although the border between the provinces of Overijssel and Gelderland largely runs along river IJssel, there are two left-bank exclaves opposite the towns of Olst and Wijhe, in which the villages of Marle (north exclave), Welsum and Welsumerveld (south exclave) are situated.
There are cable ferries between Olst and Welsum and between Wijhe and Vorchten in the municipality of Heerde (there is no direct connection between Marle and the rest of Overijssel).
On the left side of river IJssel, near the exclave of Welsum, there are several more wetering streams, all but one of them on the Gelderland side of the border; the exception being the easternmost of these, the Terwoldsche Wetering, which forms the western border between Olst-Wijhe and Voorst.

Early birds varied a lot in looks because the dark brown eggs were more important.
Bantam forms do exist though we do not have any.
