Boxtel (nl) is a municipality and a town in the southern Netherlands. The name derives from Buchestelle and is presumably a combination of 'stelle' (Dutch for stable, safe place) and (deer) buck.[4]
This is the origin of the Van Boxtel family, which has numerous descendants in North Brabant.
The town was the site of the Battle of Boxtel fought in September 1794 during the Flanders campaign. It is often principally remembered as the first battle of the future Duke of Wellington Arthur Wellesley.
