Buurmalsen is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of West Betuwe, and lies about 9 km west of Tiel. Part of the village is located in Buren.[3]
Buurmalsen was a separate municipality from 1818 to 1978, when it became a part of Geldermalsen.[4]
The village is the ancestral home of former president of the United States, Martin Van Buren, whose ancestor Cornelis Maessen immigrated to New Netherland in 1631.
History
[edit]It was first mentioned in 850 as Uberan Malsna, and means "settlement on the river Malsna near Buren". The origin of Malsna is unknown.[5] Buurmalsen started along the Lek River and developed into a concentrated esdorp. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from around 1100 and has a tower from the early 15th century. It was restored between 1987 and 1989.[6] In 1840, it was home to 465 people.[7]
