Aarlesche Peel
The Aarlesche Peel is named after the municipality of Aarle-Rixtel which had obtained this area in 1864 at the division of the Bakelse Peel.
The Roelvink brothers subsequently bought this area and had the heath reclaimed.
In 1850, the topographic map showed mention of this area with an "old hand marker."
