[edit] Name
The name "Teralfene" originates from the brook Alfene (now called the Bellebeek) which debouches into the Dender.
[edit] History
During the post-Carolingian period, Teralfene belonged to the shire of Brabant. As from 1056 it was part of a German fief that was granted to the counts of Flanders (the so-called Imperial Flanders). Under the French occupation (1796-1815) Teralfene was part of the Dijle-territory. During the Dutch period (1815-1830), this department was transformed to the province Zuid-Brabant by Willem I of Orange. Until 1976 Teralfene was an independent municipality.
