Afferden is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is a part of the municipality of Druten, and lies about 10 km northwest of Wijchen.

Afferden was a separate municipality until 1818, when it became a part of Druten.[1]

History

It was first mentioned in the 11th to 12th century as Afrithon. The etymology is unknown.[2] The village started on a sandhill near the Meuse, and developed into a linear road settlement. The church was demolished in 1838, but the tower from the 14th century has remained. The St. Victor en Gezellen Church was completed in 1891.[3] In 1840, it was home to 838 people.[4] The grist mill De Drie Waaien was built in 1869.[5]
