Strijbeek is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the municipality of Alphen-Chaam 11 km south of the city of Breda.[3]
History
The name Strijbeek could come from Strijdbeek, or a brook that was fought over. Curiously, the brook to which Strijbeek owes its name is today known as Strijbeekse Beek.
The area around Strijbeek has long been inhabited. In 1937, an urn field was found from the Marne culture, dating to the 5th century B.C. Present-day Strijbeek probably originated in the 13th century as a stream valley settlement. Here the Oude Bredase Baan joined the connecting road between Hoogstraten and Breda. Despite this favourable location, the village never really developed.
