Kralendijk is the capital and main town on Bonaire. On the whole, it is just a small town with a population of less than 4,000 people (2012 estimate).

Kralendijk began as a defense fortification called Fort Oranje, built in 1639 to protect the harbor. It was only given the name Kralendijk when it was under Dutch control in 1840.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
