Moordrecht
Appearance
Moordrecht (Template:IPA) is a village and a former municipality in the province of South Holland, the Netherlands, situated along the river Hollandse IJssel.
In September 2006, 93% of the population of Moordrecht chose by referendum to pursue a merger with the neighboring municipalities Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel and Zevenhuizen-Moerkapelle. Only 7% chose to merge with Gouda. Based on this result, the town council decided to form the new municipality Zuidplas in 2010 with Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel and Zevenhuizen-Moerkapelle.
International footballer Memphis Depay was born there.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
