High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Oerlikon is a quarter in the northern part of Zürich, Switzerland. The formerly independent municipality Oerlikon was merged with Zürich in 1934 and forms today, together with Affoltern and Seebach, the city district 11. The name Oerlikon goes back to the alemannic settlement founder Orilo. Oerlikon was mentioned for the first time in the year 946 (other source: 942) as Orlinchowa. At that time the town consisted of no more than one dozen houses and was part of the municipality Schwamendingen, where the inhabitants of Oerlikon went to school and attended church. 1855 a railway that connected southern Germany with Zurich was built. Thus, Oerlikon grew at a very fast pace and became a hub for industry and trade. In 1872 Oerlikon was separated from Schwamendingen and became its own municipality. In 1897 a tramway from Zurich to Oerlikon was built. Branch lines led also to Seebach and Schwamendingen.
