Alem is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Maasdriel, and lies about 10 km north of 's-Hertogenbosch.

History
[edit | edit source]It was first mentioned in 1107 as Aleym. The etymology is unclear.[4] The village developed along the Maas. The Dutch Reformed Church has probably been built around 1719 using material from a previous church lost in a 1717 flood.[5] In 1840, it was home to 307 people.[3]
In 1925, the canalisation of the Maas resulted in Alem becoming a river island.[5] In 1934, it became part of the province of Gelderland.[3]
