Etten is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is located in the municipality of Oude IJsselstreek, 7 km southeast of Doetinchem.

Etten was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Gendringen.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned around 1200 as de Ettene. The etymology is unclear.[4] The village started on a river dune along the Oude IJssel. The Dutch Reformed Church there dates from the 15th century with 11th century elements.[5] Castle Schuylenburgh was a medieval castle in the village that was bombed twice during World War II, and later demolished.[6] In 1840, the village was home to 292 people.[7]
