Kwadijk is a village and former municipality in the northwest Netherlands. It is a part of the municipality of Edam-Volendam in the Dutch province of North Holland. Kwadijk is located about north of Amsterdam and about north of Purmerend.
==History== thumb|left|Map from around 1868 Kwadijk, drawing bridge|thumb|left At least from 1414 there was a church in Kwadijk. That year the inhabitants of Kwadijk became "citizens" of Edam, from where the village was largely controlled. Many of the inhabitants of Kwadijk had relocated from the abandoned village Drei or Verdrey to the north of current Kwadijk between the Nieuwendijk and the Wijzend (near present-day Hobrede). At least until 1567 the Kwadijkers maintained the old graveyard of Drei.
