Feijenoord (Template:IPA-nl), not to be confused with the football team Feyenoord or the neighbourhood Feijenoord (which is located in the Feijenoord district) is a district in Rotterdam and is located south of the Nieuwe Maas. As of 1 January 2004 there were 72,320 citizens. The area is 6.44 km² (1.45 km² of this is water). It is not the home of the city's main football club, Feyenoord, which is situated in the neighbouring township of IJsselmonde.[1]
The district gained significance in the 19th century as a centre of shipbuilding, principally at the Fijenoord[2] yard.
