History

Tull is first mentioned in 1155 as "in loco qui dicitur Tylle". The etymology is unclear. [5] 't Waal was first mentioned in 1307 as Wale, and means "pool after a dike breach". In 1504, the hamlets are first mentioned as Tul ende tWael. [6] The village is a 12th century peat excavation project along the Waalsewetering. The church is a medieval building which was extensively modified in 1778 and 1890. [7] The hamlet Honswijk  [ nl ] used to be part of the village, but was transferred to Schalkwijk. In 1840, Tull en 't Waal was home to 532 people. [4]

Werk aan de Waalse Wetering is a military fortification as part of the Dutch Water Line. It was constructed in 1815, and has bomb proof barracks. [8] The fort became obsolete after the investion of the air plane. It was later used by the Nederlandse Spoorwegen to store bridging material. In 1999, it was converted into a tea house and camping.
