Geerdijk is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Twenterand. It became a village in 2009.
Geerdijk was founded in the mid-19th century along the canal Almelo–De Haandrik as a peat excavation village.[3] It was a Catholic enclave which was settled by colonists from neighbouring Germany and the area around Slagharen and Dedemsvaart. In 1868, an independent parish was established.[4]
In 1906, the Geerdijk railway station opened on the Mariënberg–Almelo railway, and closed on 29 April 2016.[5] It was closed, because there were not enough passengers and Arriva wanted to increase the speed to allow an extension of the line to Hardenberg.[6]
Geerdijk used to be part of the municipality of Den Ham. In 2001, it was merged into Twenterand.[3] It was considered a hamlet of Vroomshoop. In 2009, Geerdijk separated from Vroomshoop, and became a village.[7]
