Maltha

Maltha is a settlement located in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. It is situated in the municipality of Sint-Michielsgestel, which is part of the larger Den Bosch region. The area is characterized by its rural landscape, with agricultural fields and scattered farmsteads typical of the Brabant region.

Historically, Maltha has been a small community, its development tied to the surrounding agricultural land. Like many settlements in the Netherlands, its origins can be traced back to medieval times, though it never grew into a major town. The name itself likely derives from a local geographical feature or a historical land owner.

In contemporary times, Maltha functions as a residential area for people who may work in nearby larger towns and cities. Its proximity to Den Bosch, a significant urban center, provides residents with access to amenities, services, and employment opportunities while retaining a quieter, more pastoral lifestyle. The local infrastructure is minimal, with residents typically relying on the services and facilities provided by the larger municipality of Sint-Michielsgestel. The environment around Maltha is valued for its natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor activities such as cycling and walking.
