History

The village was first mentioned between 1108 and 1121 Harpede. The etymology is unclear.[2]

The Dutch Reformed church dated from the 15th century, but was destroyed on 5 November 1944 by the Germans and not rebuilt. The Catholic church dates from 1924.[3]

Herpt was home to 380 people in 1840.[3] Herpt was a separate municipality until 1935 (sometimes called Herpt en Bern or Herpt c.a.), when it became a part of Heusden.[4]
