An internet search of the township of Coevorden returned with only links to the city hall and community events. There was no mention of the van Coevorden family nor their very famous descendant.
A town so obscure as this small village would most definitely try to make the most of such an historical achievement; afterall during EXPO 86 in Vancouver BC Canada, they did make the most of the celebrity of the event, but on their website there is no mention.
All this looks to me as though there is no interest in the facts or the facts are incorrect.
