The Transvaalkwartier neighborhood in The Hague, Netherlands lies to the southwest of city center and is bordered by Loosduinsekade, Monstersestraat, De Heemstraat, Hoefkade, Dierenselaan Zuiderpark De La Reyweg. Built between 1900 and 1935 this neighborhood is famed for hosting Haagse Markt; an international market which moved here from Amsterdam in 1938.
This neighborhood takes its name from the Second Boer War in South Africa (1899-1902) as its streets in this area bear this moniker. The conflict made a profound impact in the Netherlands with many sympathizers of Boers (original Dutch), particularly against British imperialism in Transvaal (popular name of South African Republic between 1852-1902; taken over by British). Transvaal then existed until British invasion began its takeover. Transvaal existed until 1902 before being taken over by British control; nearby are Groente- en Fruitmarkt Rustenburg Oostbroek Regentessekwartier and Schilderswijk neighborhoods.
Transvaalkwartier boasts a rich history. Prior to 1895, two notable buildings stood in its current vicinity: Castle Westerbeek from around 1430 was demolished in 1794 at the corner of De La Reyweg/Bothastraat; country estate Engelenburg first mentioned in 1570 was another.

Housing began being constructed near De La Reyweg, Steynlaan and Loosduinsekade; with Paul Krugerlaan and its side streets being established later. Houses were intended for lower middle class individuals and workers who had relocated during the industrial revolution. This part of the neighborhood consisted largely of monotonous revolutionary houses built by speculators with poor construction quality and often consisting of monotony. With the Housing Act of 1901, the government sought to prevent these types of houses from being built. Housing construction started around 1914 in an area south of Scheeperstraat to Hoefkade; although here, as elsewhere in this neighborhood, residential blocks were highly concentrated...
