Everdingen was originally a town in the province of Gelderland but the boundary lines were redrawn in 1820 making it a part of South Holland. It transferred from that province when it came under the municipality of Vianen. It is now in the province of Utrecht.[3]

Everdingen was mentioned as early as 1284 when the big landowners of the area were invited by the Lord of Everdingen to discuss and agree to the maintenance of the dikes.

These days Everdingen is mostly known from traffic information because of the nearby motorway intersection and bottleneck on the motorways A2 and A27.
