	Orange, the principality, was an attractive refuge to huguenots, who had been the victim of persecution in France at the time. That ended when Orange was captured and annexed by France in 1672 and in 1682. Finally, in 1713 the territory of Orange was ceded to France in the Treaty of Utrecht.

But because it had become associated with the position of stadtholder of The Netherlands, the constitution that was passed in 1814 declared that any progeny of William I holding the title would be the rightful heir to the throne.

During each edition of r/Place, a band of orange manifested on top of the canvas and bordered to the [[Netherlands Flag|flag of The Netherlands]] below. The band of orange is not part of the flag, but the members of [[PlaceNL]] considered it essential to include it.
[[File:koningsdag-vlaggen-met-wimpels.jpg|thumb|The flags are raised with the orange pennant on King's Day.]]
The band of orange could either represent the orange pennant that's flown with the flag during national holidays with the purpose of celebrating the royal family. Or it could represent the orange outfits people wear to express their support for the Dutch national team during international sports competitions. However, it's possible—but not necessary—for a member of PlaceNL to hold both as their motivation.

==History==
William the Silent, more commonly known in the Netherlands as William of Orange, was the main leader of the Dutch revolt that set off the Eighty Years' War and resulted in the formal independence of the Dutch Republic in 1648.<ref>[https://historiek.net/vrede-van-munster-1648-tachtigjarige-oorlog/79537/ Vrede van Münster (1648) - Einde van de Tachtigjarige Oorlog]. historiek.net</ref> Due to this achievement, he is known in The Netherlands by the honorific title: Father of the Fatherland.<ref name=":0">[https://historiek.net/willem-van-oranje-1533-1584/55645/ Willem van Oranje (1533-1584) - Vader des Vaderlands]. historiek.net</ref> Although he held the title Prince of Orange—a principality in present-day France<ref>[https://www.royal-house.nl/topics/orange-and-nassau/history Orange and Nassau]. royal-house.nl</ref>—and although he is considered the ancestor of the Dutch royal house, he never held a position within a monarchy.

William the Silent founded the house of Orange-Nassau, which would eventually take over the reign of Napoleon over The Netherlands in 1815 and produce the Dutch monarchs.<ref>[https://historiek.net/naar-een-koninkrijk-van-nederland-en-belgie-in-1815/48288/ Naar één Koninkrijk van Nederland en België in 1815]. historiek.net</ref> Each time the monarch is succeeded, the title of Prince(ss) of Orange is transferred to the eldest child of the new monarch.

[[File:538-Koningsdag-2022-c-Radio-538.jpg|thumb|A King's Day concert in 2022.]]
During national holidays when the royal family was celebrated, such as the Queen's Day, a folk song was often sung by repeating the line:<ref>[https://www.ensie.nl/lexicon-van-het-koninklijk-huis/oranje-boven Oranje Boven]. ensie.nl</ref>
<blockquote>Oranje boven, oranje boven. Leve de koningin.</blockquote>
In English this means:
<blockquote>Orange above, orange above. Long live the queen.</blockquote>
The song has fallen out of fashion since 2013, in which year The Netherlands has gotten a king instead of a queen for the first time in a century; the line ''<nowiki/>'Leve de koning''' does not fit in the meter. Still, due to the former popularity of this song the sentiment of ''orange above'' lives on for the people of The Netherlands.

The position of the Dutch flag during {{pl1}} could not be planned; the event took everyone by surprise. The orange band that was added to the flag naturally filled in the space above it, then expanded to its right and eventually to its left.

During succeeding editions of r/Place anyone was able to plan ahead. Deciding on a location, the community of PlaceNL has had a strong preference for the top horizontal lane of the canvas every time. This hasn't necessarily been because of the precedent. Rather, this has been because of the inclination to make ''orange above'' apply to the entire canvas.

==Orange craze==

In Dutch media the Dutch national team of any sports is often referred to as Orange.
