Boskoop, a village in the Dutch province of South Holland, where there was once a Mennonite congregation. In the 17th century it belonged to the Flemish branch and was represented at the great Flemish conference at Haarlem in 1649. In 1680 there was no minister at this place; sometime before this date it had combined with the near-by Zevenhuizen congregation, but in 1680 this union was dissolved. The Boskoop congregation apparently became extinct soon after this date.
