History

The Brussels region has been populated for over 5,000 years. The first recorded mention of Brussels was in 979, when Charles the Simple, king of West Francia, granted a bishopric to the Saint Gaugericus chapel. The first settlements in the Brussels area were located on the Senne, a tributary of the Sambre. The small town of Brussels, which grew around the Saint Gaugericus chapel, became an important commercial center during the Middle Ages. In the 14th century, Brussels became the capital of the Duchy of Brabant. The city grew steadily and became a center of trade and industry. In the 16th century, Brussels became the center of the Protestant Reformation in the Low Countries. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the city was twice besieged by Spanish troops. In 1695, Brussels was annexed by the French crown. The city played an important role in the French Revolution and in the Napoleonic Wars. Brussels was liberated from French rule in 1815 and became the capital of the newly formed Kingdom of Belgium. The city prospered in the 19th century, becoming a center of art and culture. In the 20th century, Brussels became a center of international diplomacy and was the site of major European institutions, including the European Union and NATO.
