Helmond Helmond is a municipality and a city in the Metropoolregio Eindhoven of the province of North Brabant in the southern Netherlands . Helmond has many textile companies. The Vlisco factory is located next to the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal which runs through the city. The name 'Helmond' can be traced back to a combination of Hel , which means "low-lying", and Mond , which would refer to a higher ground, secure place. The name has nothing to do with the contemporary literal translation of Hell Mouth. In 1241 a first coat of arms was created, containing a helmet as a reference to the word Helmond, since this early in history the historical meaning of the city name was already lost to its inhabitants. This helmet would symbolize the fortified medieval town. Originally a medieval pot helmet , this was later adapted to a new fashion style and is now a tournament helmet. The oak branches symbolizing freedom. The bird in the branches is a medieval decoration and has no meaning. The spoken language is Helmonds.Geography Helmond is subdivided into quarters and neighbourhoods:Quarter 11 Inner City *Neighbourhood 0 Centrum *Neighbourhood 2 Leonardus *Neighbourhood 3 Heipoort *Neighbourhood 4 Stationsgebied *Neighbourhood 5 Vossenberg *Neighbourhood 6 Annabuurt en Suytkade *Neighbourhood 7 Steenweg en omgeving Quarter 11 Helmond-East *Neighbourhood 0 Beisterveld *Neighbourhood 1 Beisterveldse Broek *Neighbourhood 2 Straakven Quarter 12 Helmond-North *Neighbourhood 0 Bloemvelden *Neighbourhood 1 Binderen *Neighbourhood 2 Eeuwsels Quarter 13 Mierlo-Hout *Neighbourhood 0 't Hout-Centrum *Neighbourhood 1 Kroon *Neighbourhood 2 Akkers *Neighbourhood 3 Gansenwinkel *Neighbourhood 9 Groot Goor Quarter 14 Brouwhuis *Neighbourhood 0 Brouwhuis-Dorp *Neighbourhood 1 Brouwhuis-West *Neighbourhood 2 Brouwhuis-Oost *Neighbourhood 4 Brouwhorst *Neighbourhood 9 Kloostereind Quarter 15 Helmond-West *Neighbourhood 0 West *Neighbourhood 1 Houtsdonk Quarter 16 Warande *Neighbourhood 0 Oranjebuurt *Neighbourhood 1 Zwanenbeemd *Neighbourhood 9 Overbrug Quarter 17 Stiphout *Neighbourhood 0 Stiphout-Dorp *Neighbourhood 1 Schooten *Neighbourhood 9 Geeneind Quarter 18 Rijpelberg *Neighbourhood 1 Rijpelberg-Oost *Neighbourhood 2 Rijpelberg-West *Neighbourhood 9 Berkendonk Quarter 19 Dierdonk *Neighbourhood 0 Kern Dierdonk *Neighbourhood 9 Scheepstal Quarter 21 Brandevoort *Neighbourhood 1 De Veste *Neighbourhood 2 Schutsboom *Neighbourhood 3 Stepekolk *Neighbourhood 4 Berenbroek Quarter 29 Industrial park-South *Neighbourhood 1 Hoogeind *Neighbourhood 2 B.Z.O.B.History First settlements in the area were around 1000, and Helmond was granted city rights in approximately 1232.
