Historical information;
This meadow-land was a poor area West of the the city 's-Hertogenbosch because the soil is just sand. East, North and South of the city is the rich clay-ground because of the rivers there. Farmers in this Vught region walked all the way to the city to earn a little money as wage-worker before the second world-war. The farmers were called 'keuterboertjes', Dutch for peasant. The were so poor that the had a stable-like farm, just poor enough not to die. Now the village Vught is one of the richest parts of the country.
