On the 23 September 1338, at the start of the Hundred Years' War between England and France, a naval battle was held near Arnemuiden. It was the first naval battle of the Hundred Years' War〔Jean-Claude Castex, (''Dictionnaire des batailles navales franco-anglaises'' ), Presses de l'Université Laval, 2004, p.21〕 and the first naval battle using artillery, as the English ship ''Christofer'' had three cannon and one hand gun.〔Jean-Claude Castex, (''Dictionnaire des batailles navales franco-anglaises'' ), Presses de l'Université Laval, 2004, p.21〕 It received city rights in 1574. Until 1997, Arnemuiden was a separate municipality. Arnemuiden has a railway station - Arnemuiden railway station. A substantial part of the inhabitants of Arnemuiden have been a fisherman in some part of their life. This explains the immense popularity of tattoos and fishing ship earrings in the village. "De klok van Arnemuiden" is a Dutch song about the church clock at the Arnemuiden central market. ==Gallery== File:Battle of Arnemuiden.jpg|The Battle of Arnemuiden in 1338.
