Teralfene is a village which makes part of the municipality Affligem, together with Hekelgem and Essene.
Name
The name "Teralfene" originates from the brook Alfene (now called the Bellebeek) which flows into the Dender.
History
During the post-Carolingian period, Teralfene belonged to the shire of Brabant. As from 1056 it was part of a German fief that was granted to the counts of Flanders (the so-called Imperial Flanders). Under the French occupation (1796-1815) Teralfene was part of the Dijle-territory. During the Dutch period (1815-1830), this department was transformed to the province Zuid-Brabant by Willem I of Orange. Until 1976 Teralfene was an independent municipality.
