There are a surprising number of places named after Wynkoops in the United States. At this point in time I don't have the faintest idea who these places are named after. If you do, or know of more places which should be added to this list, please contact me at [email protected]. I'll be glad to update the list or post the explanations, giving credit where credit is due. Information for the United States comes from the Geographic Names Information System where you may pull up a map of the places named.
United States:
Wijnkoops-baai in the island of Java.
Go to Koen Wijnkoop's website to see a copy of the Map. For a more detailed background on it's discovery please see his write-up in the September, 1997 Wynkoop Newsletter under the heading "News From the Rest of the World."
Unfortunately, these links no longer work. Hopefully Koen will rebuild his website after construction at his place finishes. Until then, we'll just have to wait.
