The town received city rights between 1190 and 1196, making it one of the oldest cities in the country. It also became part of the Hanze, a group of cities with great wealth, this group of cities were the economic center in that part of Europe. Having been fortified the town stood several sieges, specially during the wars of freedom waged by the Dutch against Spain.
The old center survived the Second World War almost in its entirety, though some parts of the city were lost, especially the area around the railway station, in the northern part of the city center, known as the Nieuwstad (English: New City). The city center includes many monumental buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, and some even date back to the 13th century such as a retirement home area. There are also remains of the old town walls in several places.
Today, Zutphen is a modern small city. The urban area, which includes the town of Warnsveld, has about 51,000 inhabitants.
