Almelo is a municipality and a city in the eastern Netherlands. Almelo received city rights in 1394. Within the city limits lies the castle of the Counts of Almelo. At the end of the 19th century textile emerged as a major employer and drew many workers, at first from within the Netherlands. Since the 1960s, workers from Spain and Turkey started to work here as well. As a result, the first mosque of the Netherlands was built here in 1976 for the Turkish population of the city.
