Rheden (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈreːdə(n)] ⓘ) is a municipality and a town in the eastern Netherlands.

Many estates arose at the foot of the Veluwezoom, forming an almost unbroken row from Arnhem to Dieren.

Between 1650 and about 1900 there were seven country estates in the village of Rheden: Scherpenhof, Den Brink, Heuven, De Kruishorst, Snippendaal (until 1916 part of De Kruishorst), Rhederhof and Valkenberg.

[6] During the 19th century, many retirees and pensioners settled in the municipality of Rheden, particularly in De Steeg and Velp.

The nearby presence of a city (Arnhem) and beautiful nature were factors that stimulated the growth of the municipality of Rheden.
