History
Originally, Rijkevoort is an agricultural mining settlement founded by Beugen. The surrounding area was initially marshy which is apparent in field names like: Walsertse Broek, Papenvoortse Broek, Laageindebroek, Hoogeindebroek and Rijkevoortse Broek. These are relatively low-lying areas east of the Peel. The oldest mention of Rijkevoort dates back to 1487
