This is a fission product of the long-gone Huguenot wars! Belgium is divided language wise into French and Flemish speaking regions, and stamps, etc reflect this bilingual cast, The French-speaking gravitate towards towns such as Nieuport, an important French fighter plane in World War I. (Nieuport also made bombers and is really considered a French make, like Breguet. Pavonie is Belgic-French for Pavonia, Land of the aPeacock. Hoboken also in Belgium- H"mm Nieuport, Pavonie, Hoboken, get off at the right stop on the pATH< well this whole region was settled by the Dutch so we have Newport, Pavonia, and Hoboken, the originals are in Belgium, at that time Belgium was under the Netherlands.)
