Oeffelt was a separate municipality until 1994, when it became part of Boxmeer.[1] The settlement Oeffelt was first mentioned in a document in 1075 as Uflo. This could be a combination from the Keltish words uffa (water) and ten (settlement), indicating a settlement by the Meuse river, which nowadays runs between Oeffelt on the west bank and Gennep – in the province of Limburg – on the east bank. The villages are connected by a bridge in the N264 road.

gollark: My (E2E, lategame) ore acquirer and processor. It uses a bunch of sieves running on soul sand, gravel and dust to make ore pieces and gems and such, as well as a void ore miner (I resent EnvironmentalTech, but apparently you need the crystals from it), as well as a laser drill, as well as an ender chest from the lunar mining site. It uses Ender IO machines for smelting/some grinding because they're really, really fast, Mekanism 5x ore processing (which constantly ends up backlogged) for a few rarer things, and 4x ore processing (still horribly backlogged) for most of the rest.
