Enkhuizen, like Hoorn and Amsterdam , was one of the harbor-towns of the VOC , from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted. It received city rights in 1355. On June 24, 1572 during the Eighty Years' War , in Enkhuizen five Franciscans from Alkmaar were hanged : known as the martyrs of Alkmaar .
In the mid-17th century, Enkhuizen was at the peak of its power and was one of the most important harbor cities in the Netherlands. However, due to a variety of reasons, notably the silting up of the harbors, Enkhuizen lost its position to Amsterdam.
