Berloz

Berloz is a municipality located in the province of Liège, within the Walloon Region of Belgium. It is situated in the Hesbaye region, known for its agricultural landscapes. The municipality was established in 1977 through the fusion of several smaller communes, including Berloz itself, Borlez, and Rosoux-Crenwick. The administrative center of the municipality is located in Berloz.

Historically, the area has been inhabited since Roman times, with archaeological findings suggesting early settlements. The name Berloz is believed to derive from Germanic origins. Over centuries, the region's development was tied to agriculture, with farming practices shaping the rural character of the area. The communes that now form Berloz each have their own distinct histories, often centered around local manors or churches.

The economy of Berloz remains largely agricultural, though like many rural Belgian communities, it also sees some residents commuting to nearby larger towns and cities for employment. The municipality maintains a network of local services and recreational facilities for its residents. Its geographical location provides access to larger urban centers while retaining a distinctly rural charm.
