Aalden developed in the Middle Ages on higher sand ground. The oldest part developed around a triangular village green without a church. [3] It was first mentioned in 1332 as Alede. The etymology is unclear. [4] Nowadays, it forms a single urban area with Zweeloo. [3] In 1840, it was home to 116 people. [5]

The Jantina Hellingmolen is a gristmill from 1891 and is still in service on a voluntary basis. [6]
