Geulle

Geulle is a village in the Dutch province of Limburg. It is located in the municipality of Meerssen, about 8 km southwest of Geleen.The village was first mentioned in 1298 as Gole, and refers to the Geul River which used to flow past the village until the Maas moved two kilometres westwards in the early 15th century. Geulle developed in the Middle Ages at the former confluence of the Geul with the Maas. In 1375, it became part of the Land van Valkenburg. In 1839, it became part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Between 1931 and 1934, the Juliana Canal was dug and the village was split in two parts: Guelle and Geulle aan de Maas.
