A city in the Netherlands, capitol of the province North Holland, 20km from Amsterdam.
The oldest mentioning of Haarlem dates from the 10th century. The name comes from "Haarlo-heim" or "Harulahem", which means 'place, on sand covered with trees, higher than the others'.
Haarlem is known to be one of the only places in Holland that has trees & is higher (land level) than other municipalities.
Harlem, Manhattan -
In 1658, Peter Stuyvesant, the Director-General of the Dutch colony of Nieuw Nederland (New Netherland), founded the settlement of Nieuw Haarlem in the northern part of Manhattan Island as an outpost of Nieuw Amsterdam (New Amsterdam) at the southern tip of the island.
After the English capture of New Netherland in 1664, the new English colonial administration renamed both the colony and its principal city "New York," but left the name of Haarlem more or less unchanged.
The spelling changed to Harlem in keeping with contemporary English usage, and the district grew (as part of the borough of Manhattan) into the vibrant center of African American culture in New York City and the United States generally by the 20th century.

Get the Hagaren mug.Haajra is a GOAT (greatest of all time). A very shy and awkward girl, who is the type of person to be asleep at any place at any time. She is very bad at expressing her feelings and doesn't see for help when she needs it (Finds her own ways to cope). However, puts in extra effort to prioritise other people's hardships over her own. Haajra is a stubborn stubborn girl but very smart. She will always do the right thing for you even if you don't see it for yourself. She lacks confidence and often keeps quite in social interactions. However, when you get to know her you will see how loud and goofy she really is. Despite her kind-hearted nature you do not want to mess with a Haajra, as she can be very feisty, but always stays true to her word. Although she has a innocent outer shell, she is very dirty minded. All together Haajra is a dedicated and loving spirit who will never fail to make you feel better.
