History

[edit]

The area in and around Beuningen was inhabited by the Romans. There are regularly excavations done in which Roman rests are found. In the 15th century there stood a small castle: Blanckenburgh. It was probably destroyed during the Eighty Years' War by Maurice of Orange. Until about 1900 Beuningen was a poor farmers village, often struck by floods. Nevertheless, there were a few rich families, mostly farmers with a lot of land, who paid the highest tax in the area. On 1 January 1818 the municipality annexed the town of Weurt to the east, and on 1 July 1980 the town of Ewijk to the west.

Nowadays Beuningen has grown to a suburb of Nijmegen, with a lot of new neighbourhoods.
