The Verdronken Zwarte Polder is a so-called slufter - an area behind a row of dunes that has broken through - and was created in 1802. In fact, however, this area was created by a dike breach, which flooded the 120 hectare Zwarte Polder, which was created in 1623. It concerned a constructed dike in which a modest row of dunes spontaneously developed. This dammed up the remaining part of the Black Hole. Since then, the area has only been partially reclaimed. In 1803 an area of 8 hectares was re-diked, today known as Zwarte Polder.
