Dunkerque, the town
Dunkerque covers 43.9 km², lies between 0 and 17 m above sea level and had 86,263 inhabitants in the 2023 census.
Dunkerque is a French commune, sub-prefecture of the département du Nord. The history of Dunkerque is linked to the North Sea, and the town developed around its port. Due to its position, it attracted many covetous interests and periodically belonged to the comté de Flandre, the kingdom of Spain (the Spanish Netherlands), and the kingdoms of England and France.
A little history
Raids by Saxon pirates appear to have taken place in the region of Dunkerque during the 2nd century. The history of Dunkerque begins around the year 800, with the creation of a fishing village on the edge of a natural creek. The village became a town around 960 under the auspices of Baudouin III, comte de Flandre, who is said to have surrounded it with a wooden palisade. Shortly before the year 1000, a church was built.
