Where does this name come from?
I live close to Harderwijk, the Netherlands.

Hi Ruud, I also live near Harderwijk. However, I think this Harderwyk is from the town of Holland, Michigan. There is a Harderwyk Ministries and a Harderwyk Cemetery there. There are also surrounding towns:Zeeland, Drenthe, Vriesland, Borculo, Overisel and Graafschap. Even a supermarket named Meijer. Definitely a county where a lot of Dutchmen settled, maybe they still speak some Dutch there? But no direct link to our Harderwijk, I’d guess…

That makes sense to me, thank you for your infirmation.
