These "buurten" were built in the second half of the 19th century. An
automated (and for us hilarious) translation of a Dutch text states the
following:

In second half of the 19de centuries became, as a result of economic and
with that the coherent population growth flourishes, outside the
Buitensingelgracht (nassau-, city holders- and Mauritskade) new
volkswijken built: confessed in the south the district as 'the pipe', in
the west the Kinker- and the Staatsliedenbuurt and in the east brave-
and the Indian buurt.

FYI: volkswijken = worker districts, city holders = Stadhouders
Van Oldenbarneveldt was a staatsman, one of the staatslieden

For the Dutchmen over here, this is the original:

In de tweede helft van de 19de eeuw werden, als gevolg van de
economische opbloei en de daarmee samenhangende bevolkingsaanwas, buiten
de Buitensingelgracht (Nassau-, Stadhouders- en Mauritskade) nieuwe
volkswijken gebouwd: in het zuiden de wijk bekend als 'De Pijp', in het
westen de Kinker- en de Staatsliedenbuurt en in het oosten de Dapper- en
de Indische buurt.
