Grafhorst (population as of 2001: 770) is a small town about 3 km north of Kampen, in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It received city rights in 1333.

It was most likely a small settlement before that. Most likely it existed already around 800.

History tells us that the Normans (Vikings) crossed the "Ganzediep" a local river.

The people at this time thrived from fishing, and harvesting "riet" (Cane) (Reed).

Information came from Roel Post. Not yet done translating. http://www.roelpost.nl/ggraf.php

Grafhorst was a separate municipality until 1937, when it became a part of IJsselmuiden;[1] it is now a part of Kampen.
