Haarlem is a small Dutch city, capital of the province of [[Noord Holland]], and located 12 miles west of [[Amsterdam]]. It is the centre of the Dutch flower-growing industry and was a centre of the 'tulip mania' bubble market in tulip bulbs during the 1630s. During the Dutch 'Golden Age' the city was home to artists such as [[Frans Hals]] and [Jan Steen]]. Today, apart from its flower-industry businesses, Haarlem is a major tourist centre, prized for its historic environment.
The city has a population of 147,000.
The district of Harlem in [[New York City]] was named after Haarlem.
