The village was first mentioned in 1155 as Lirdob. The etymology is unknown. Lierop develop along the Kleine Aa. A church was built in 1569. The Holy Name of Jesus Church was built between 1890 and 1892, and has a large domed tower in Romano-Gothic style. There used to be four towers on the corner, but after war damage in 1944 only two have been restored. Lierop was a separate municipality until 1935, when it became part of Someren. The spoken language is Peellands (an East Brabantian dialect, which is very similar to colloquial Dutch).
