    Regional history

    This region is now known as the "Kempen" in Noord-Brabant(and also in Belgium).

    The old name of this region is Taxandria.
    The name came from the tribal name of the Texuandrii who served as auxiliary in the Roman army.

    They also worked as farmers and craftsman to support the local economy.
    These Texuandrii settled in the empty space where, the Celtic tribes of Eburonen and Nervii lived, before the Roman conquest.
