Steenderen is a former municipality and a village in the eastern Netherlands. It has been part of the new municipality of Bronckhorst since 2005.
History
It was first mentioned in 1046 as Stenere, and means "stone buildings on a sandy ridge".{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/steenderen |title=Steenderen - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=20 March 2022 |language=nl}} In 1217, a parish church is established. The Dutch Reformed Church has elements dating from the 14th century. In 1782, it suffered a fire after a lightning strike, and was rebuilt. The church was restored between 1966 and 1972.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu05_01/sten009monu05_01_0191.php |title=Steenderen |author=Ronald Stenvert & Sabine Broekhoven |page=293 |year=2000 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9406 3 |language=nl |access-date=20 March 2022}} In 1840, it was home to 486 people.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/steenderen |title=Steenderen |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=20 March 2022 |language=nl}}
