Overbanken (English pronunciation: [ˈoʊ̯vɻ̩ːˌbeɪ̯ŋkn̩] (standard); [ˈɔːvəˌbæŋkn̩] (Beaver River); Oceana pronunciation: [ˈovɛʁˌbaŋkɛn]; archaic: Bankoni; [ˈbaŋkɛn], officially: Overbanken-Neighborhood) is a region and district north of the Hurbanova Stream. It contains one of Hurbanova's neighborhoods, which is also called Overbanken. Although it is relatively small compared to other rural districts, it has a population of 207 people (ODC, 2012). Overbanken houses several anti-flooding facilities, hydroelectric facilities, the Overbanken Regional Airport, and several campings.

In the past, the region was prepared for the construction of a new neighborhood of Hurbanova, or even a separate hamlet. The straight, asphalted roads in the largely deforested plains still reminded of this period. Eventually, all plans for the construction of new homes had been dropped, before the desperate housing shortage in Oceana led to new plans. Although Bill An already presented plans for a new settlement and illegally began clearing the area in 2011, his lay-out was never accepted. The current neighborhood was designed by Oos Wes Ilava and Bart Koenen.

The original route of the Emerald Railway crosses the Overbanken area and has nowadays been converted into a bicyclist and hiking route.

Administratively, there is an area called "Overbanken-Neighborhood" (Oceana: Dedin o'Bankoni), which is part of the Hurbanova built-up area, and a district called "Overbanken-Forest" (Oceana: Overbanken-Stareless). However, traffic signs only exist in the form "Overbanken" (Oceana: Bankoni). The Oceana Demographic Center treats them separately.

Etymology[]

The name "Overbanken" has a very complex history. The first name recorded for the area north of the stream was Stareless (Old Forest), which was mentioned in birth certificates in the late nineteenth century. In the early twentieth century, several other names were recorded, including That Starie, Stourle, and Store Hine Banks (referring to the fact that the area was on the banks of the Hurbanova Stream). By the end of the 20's, the region was widely known as Bankoni (the miners' area). Because of Dutch influence, this changed to Banken, which was the official pronunciation of the official name Bankoni. Large numbers of immigrants from Limburgish descent made a contrast between Overbanken (which was on the other side of the river, i.e. "over the river") and a Limburgish area called Onderbanken ("Underbanken"; Limburgish: Óngerbenk). This contrast was later adopted by most Oceana people. In 1997, the English name was officially changed to Overbanken; the official Oceana name remained Bankoni, even though most people no longer use this term.
