Beers has a population of about 1,721, of which 1,305 reside in the village itself, and 416 in the surrounding countryside, including the hamlets De Plaats and Dommelsvoort.[3]
Until 1994, Beers was a separate municipality.[4]
The name Beers might come from bere or baren, which can mean mud or stuff in Dutch.
Beers is first noted in a document that was written between 1050 and 1200. In it Beers was named Berse. The family Van Beerse was a vassal from the Lord of Cuijk, making Beers belong to the municipality of Cuijk. This vassal however, did own a small castle surrounded by a moat, named De Broekhof.
Around 1814, at the end of the French age and at the beginning of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Beers became a separate municipality. In 1942, Great-Linden and Gassel joined Beers. In 1994 the municipality of Beers was repealed. Gassel joined the municipality of Grave, North Brabant, while Beers and Great-Linden (today Linden, North Brabant) joined Cuijk.
