==Situation== Heinenoord is a village located on the island Hoeksche Waard in the province of South Holland. It is a Linear settlement, built on a dike. The neighbouring village Goidschalxoord, which is also a linear settlement, is a township of Heinenoord. Kuipersveer and Blaaksedijk are also townships of Heinenoord.
Since 14 November 1968, the Hoeksche Waard is connected with Barendrecht on the island of IJsselmonde through the Heinenoordtunnel.
==History== The village was first mentioned in 1312 as "tot Heynekens orde", and means "land (near water) belonging to Heineken (person - diminutive of Hein)".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/heinenoord |title=Heinenoord - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=3 May 2022 |language=nl}}</ref>
In the Middle Ages, Heinenoord and its surroundings were known as "het Land van Wale". After the St. Elizabeth's flood (1421), Heinenoord was engulfed by the water. It recovered around 1437, when the land was reclaimed. Around that time the village of Heynkensort was founded. Together with Goidschalxoord and the townships Kuipersveer and Blaaksedijk it formed one municipality from 1855 until 1984.
On 17 February 1945, an angry mob shot the NSB-mayor M.A. Simonis from Nieuw-Beijerland on Heinenoord territory. The next day ten Dutchmen were executed by a German firing squad as reprisal, who were imprisoned in Scheveningen. On the same place in 1950, the monument moeder, Dutch for "mother", was unveiled.
