In 50 BC today’s Maastricht was a site of a Roman settlement called Trajectum ad Mosam (“Ford on the Meuse”). It is uncertain whether the Romans have first founded the settlement at the river Meuse, from which the city derives its name. It is known however, that Celts have lived there around 500 BC.
Between 382 and 721 it was the seat of a bishop and received city rights in 1204. After this the town was held by the dukes of Brabant, under the joint sovereignty of Brabant and the prince-bishops of Liège in 1284 and of Liège and the Dutch Estates-General in 1632.
The city was taken by the Spanish in 1579, by Prince Frederick Henry of Orange in 1632, and by the French in 1673, 1748, and 1794. However, it resisted the Belgians in 1830–32.
