Seghwaert housing estate in Zoetermeer was formed around the old village of Zegwaart (or Zegwaard), which fused with the municipality of Zoetermeer in 1935, using the archaic spelling of the locale's name. The old Zegwaart was a ribbon development along what remains until today as Zegwaartseweg, which is perpendicular to Dorpstraat. The estate is divided into Seghwaert-Oost (2723), -Midden (2724) and -Noord (2727).
