Oude Noorden is located in Rotterdam's northern part and forms part of its Rotterdam-North district. The neighborhood is bordered by Noorderkanaal to its north, Liskwartier to its east, Agniesebuurt to its west and Rotte river to its east - well-known for its diverse and multicultural population and home to Noorderboulevard formerly known as Zwart Janstraat/Noordmolenstraat which hosts various shops and businesses. City authorities and housing corporations are working towards revitalizing this neighborhood which had issues related to drugs/neglect in previous years - both city authorities and housing corporations have endeavored in efforts of revitalizing it over time.
Oude Noorden began as part of Blommersdijk manor during the 19th century. Zwaanshals, named for a bend in Rotte river, first appears as early as 16th century. Subsequently several country estates were established here such as Soetendaal which gave rise to Soetendaalseweg today.
Oude Noorden was created in the late 19th century as a residential area to ease overcrowding in Rotterdam city center, initially as part of city architect Willem Nicolaas Rose's singel plan. However, due to its closeness to Nieuwe Waterweg (with its surge in trade and industry) outsiders from outside Rotterdam began flocking there and land speculation drove up prices leading to densely built streets and cramped living quarters - eventually continuing until 1930s expansion continued northward until then.
