A brief history of Eindhoven

Eindhoven dates to the 13th century. It was a small town that was tossed back and forth between the Dutch and the Spanish during much of the 16th century. However, it wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that the city came into its own. Initially, its growth centred on tobacco and textiles but with the founding of lighting and electronics giant Philips in 1891, the city experienced a boom.
