text:
Adriaan Geerts Wildervanck was a Dutch businessman and coloniser. In 1643, he lost most of his money when De Oevelgunne stranded on the Boschplaat with expensive lace. In 1647, he founded the Muntendammer Company to exploit a peat colony. As part of the colony, the villages of Wildervank (1647) and Veendam (1648) were established.
