	There was a strong population growth in the town and area in the 2nd century, with possibly around 27,000 people at that time living in this area and surroundings. However, from the 3rd century onwards the number of inhabitants fell sharply; this was related to the attacks by [[Germanic tribe]]s from above the Rhine, but increasing flooding may also have played a role. The Romans left here definitely around 270 AD, due to this continued Germanics attacks.

	In the ninth century, the Netherlands were governed by a number of counts. In the twelfth century they divided their land into lower administrative divisions, i.e. [[Amt]]s. During this time Voorburg became a distinctive ambt, with the first Lord of the Amt of Voorburg being Dirk van Duvenvoorde. He was given the position around 1198. There was a small wooden chapel in Voorburg at that time. At the beginning of the thirteenth century it was replaced by the [[:nl:Oude of Martinikerk (Voorburg)\|Old Church of Voorburg]]. In the fifteenth century there were 108 houses in Voorburg. However, most people lived on small farms. Large areas of a wetland excisted along the [[Vliet (canal)\|Vliet]] canal. These wetland accumulated [[peat]], which could be made into a popular fuel at that time. The peat-rich soil led to a strong increase of inhabitants in the area and Voorburg. With trade on the Vliet canal, the area also became a lot busier from the seventeenth century onwards. Due to the new Leidsche dam in the Vliet canal (later on the town of [[Leidschendam]]), trading skippers had to transfer their goods, travelers had to wait for their barge and workmen offered their services there. All those people had to live, eat or sleep somewhere.
