History

Huissen was first mentioned in 814 as Hosenheim. It received city rights in 1314. The town was part of the Duchy of Cleves and became Dutch in as late as 1816. Much of the town was destroyed in World War II. After the war it was rebuilt in the Traditionalist style. Huissen was previously a municipality of its own, but merged with the former municipalities Bemmel and Gendt in 2001, to form the municipality of Lingewaard. Huissen is the largest population centre within this municipality.
