==History== thumb|The term Kennemerland is mostly used to define the immediate surroundings of Haarlem. thumb|left|Two panels by the Master of Alkmaar dated 1490–1510, with a Kennemer dunescape in the background. Kennemerland gets its name from the Kennemer people, Frisians who fought unsuccessfully with the Counts of Holland in the Middle Ages. The name is said to derive from the Canninefates. Because of the wars and the Dutch rerouting of waterways, the original borders of Kennemerland have been lost. During the 20th century, the term Kennemerland was redefined to denote municipal regions of North Holland. Because the Kennemers, according to folklore, were always on the attack, many sports teams in Haarlem are called Kennemers.
