Herwen was a separate municipality until 1818, when the area was divided between the new municipality of Herwen en Aerdt and Pannerden.[3]
The village was first mentioned in the 1st century as Carvio ad Molem. The etymologie in unclear. It was discovered on the tomb of Marcus Mallius, a Roman soldier buried in Herwen. In 897, it was attested as Harauua.[4] Herwen developed along the Oude Rijn near Castle Ter Cluse. The castle was built in 1348 and destroyed in 1598. In 1652, a havezate was built in its place. The Catholic St.-Martinus Church was built between 1904 and 1905 as a replacement of an 1818 predecessor.[5] In 1840, Herwen was home to 654 people.[6]
