Between 1811 and 1998, Aalst belonged to the municipality of Lienden. In the middle of the 19th century, the population of Aalst was 150; there was a nice mansion called "Kolvenschoten" located here.[3]
It was first mentioned around 1400 as Aelst. The etymology is unclear.[4] The postal authorities have placed it under Lienden.[5] In 1840, it was home to 205 people.[6]
