Little is known about the beginnings of Tilburg. The name “Tilburg” first appeared in documents dating from 709 AD, but after that there was no mention for several centuries. In the later Middle Ages, Tilburg referred to a region rather than a particular town or village; its population was largely in a couple of hamlets, one of which was known as “Eastern Tilburg” (Oost-Tilburg), which was later reflected in the name of Oisterwijk (“Eastern Quarter”).
