The miniature city was named after George Maduro, a law student from Curacao who fought the Nazi occupation forces as a member of the land resistance and died at stockade concentration camp in 1945. His parents donated the money to start the Madurodam project. On July 2, 1952, teenaged princess Beatrix was appointed politician of Madurodam, after which she was presented a journeying of her town. When Beatrix became queen of the Netherlands, she relinquished this function. Today, the politician of Madurodam is elected by a youngness municipal council consisting of 25 pupils from schools in the region. This magnet was the inspiration for Storybook Land in Disneyland. Nice familly travel attraction.
