History
It was first mentioned in 1107 as Aleym. The etymology is unclear.[2] The village developed along the Maas. The Dutch Reformed Church has probably been built around 1719 using material from a previous church lost in a 1717 flood.[3] In 1840, it was home to 307 people.[1]
In 1925, the canalisation of the Maas resulted in Alem becoming a river island.[3] In 1934, it became part of the province of Gelderland.[1]
