History
The name Cool is first mentioned in 1280. In 1816, the independent municipality of Cool was annexed by the city of Rotterdam.[1] During the Rotterdam Blitz in 1940, much of the district was destroyed, but some streets survived—including Oude Binnenweg and Witte de Withstraat.[citation needed]
