Because of its location on the Heegermeer Lake, eel fishery and trade have been important to Heeg for a long time. Until 1938, eels from Heeg were exported to London. The Hegemers could thereby make use of the Dutch Mooring at the Thames, not far from the Tower of London. The trade was so important to the village that the children from Heeg at primary school all used to learn English.
