History
The village was first mentioned in 1303 as "Iohannes et Henricus fratres dicti van der Vloet de Meyele". The etymology is uncertain. It might mean "middle of the forest".[3] Meijel developed on a sandy ridge in the raised bog of the Peel. It became a free heerlijkheid (no fief). In 1716, it became part of the Austrian Upper Guelders.[4]
The Catholic St Nicolaas Church is a three aisled church with wide tower which was constructed between 1953 and 1955 to replace the church which was destroyed in 1944.[4]
Meijel was home to 996 inhabitants in 1840.[5] It was severely damaged during World War II.[4] Meijel was an independent municipality until 2010 when it was merged into Peel en Maas.[5]
