Vrijenban is a neighborhood of Delft in the Netherlands province of South Holland. It is located on the northeast boundary of the historic city center of Delft. Prior to being merged into Delft, Vrijenban used to be a municipality in its own right.
Vrijenban was a settlement of people before 1795 when it began to be organized into a place and take some structure. From 1795 to 1798 it was a municipality and from 1798 to 1811 it was a Dutch "gemeente." In 1812, the "gemeente" of Vrijenban became part of Delft. Later it again gained some self-rule.
