Schoten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxoːtə(n)] ) is a former village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It was located between Haarlem and Santpoort.
Schoten was a separate municipality between 1817 and 1927, when it was merged with Haarlem.[1] The municipality consisted of the northern part of the current municipality of Haarlem, north of the old city, between the Delft and Spaarne rivers.
