Summary:
The Lingehaven in Gorinchem is not the oldest connection between the Linge and Merwede rivers. The Linge previously flowed west of the city via the Haar into the Avelingen and on the east side of medieval Gorinchem, near present-day Wijdschild. Only after Gorinchem had developed into a medieval town around 1300 was the Lingehaven constructed as a dug, eastern city moat. The oldest known document mentioning the harbor dates from October 18, 1324. The connection between the Merwede and Linge was likely built in stages, starting with a "dead-end" Merwedehaven up to the Peter Bridge, later extended to the Visbrug (Fish Bridge), and even later connected to the Linge.
