The village was first mentioned in 1272 as de Bare. It may mean "barren land". It became part of Gelderland in 1735.[3] The hamlet has no place name signs. In 1840, it was home to 144 people. Nowadays it consists of about 20 houses.[4]

According to the 19th-century historian A.J. van der Aa,[5] it had about 170 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century. The large castle "Bahr" was located here, until it was demolished after a siege in 1495.
