History

The village was first mentioned in 721 as Fleodrodu(m), and means "settlement near the elderberry (sambucus) trees".[3] Vlierden is an agrarian community from the Early Middle Ages. For a short while, it was a heerlijkheid.[4]

The St Willibrordus was originally built in 1846, and expanded in 1920. It was severely damaged in 1944, and received a new front in 1956.[4]

Vlierden was home to 217 people in 1840.[5] Vlierden was a separate municipality until 1926, when it merged with Deurne en Liessel to form the new municipality "Deurne".[6]

The spoken language is Peellands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).[7]
