Moordrecht (Dutch:[ˈmoːrdrɛxt]ⓘ) is a small town 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.[1]
"Moor" means swamp, marsh or 'moor' while "drecht" means floodland or something similar.
