## History

The village was first mentioned in 1180 as Lakesmunde, and means "mouth of the Laak (river)".[4] Lexmond started as a dike village along the [Lek River](/source/Lek_(river)). In 1277, the Laak was dammed and a little harbour was constructed. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from the 14th century and was extensively restored between 1954 and 1958.[5] In 1840, it was home to 700 people.[6]
