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
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]
