HAGUE, The:
Origin and Name.
"Unlike other Dutch cities, the Hague owed its importance, not
to commerce or manufactures, but to having early been made the
seat of government of the United Provinces, and to the
constant presence of the officers of state and the foreign
ministers accredited to the republic. For four centuries the
abode of the counts of Holland, it derives its name from the
'Haeg 'or hedge encircling the magnificent park which formed
their ancient hunting ground, and the majestic trees in which,
at this day, attract the admiration of Europe."
