History
Nettetal was founded on January 1, 1970, when the former townships Leuth, Breyell, Hinsbeck and former towns/cities Lobberich and Kaldenkirchen were merged. All five communities had developed around the river Nette.
Lobberich, Hinsbeck, and Leuth belonged historically to the Upper Quarter of Guelders and thus to the Southern Netherlands. During the War of the Spanish Succession, these places were occupied by Prussia, along with the other municipalities that went on to form Prussian Upper Guelders in 1713.
Kaldenkirchen, Breyell and Schaag, on the other hand, historically belonged to the Duchy of Jülich.
Nettetal originally contained five boroughs, until Schaag separated from Breyell in 1995, becoming the sixth borough.
At the time of its formation, it was considered too problematic to try and combine all five coats of arms into one, so a new coat of arm was introduced in 1971. It shows a water lily before a blue blackground, symbolizing the predominance of nature and the variety of lakes. Five water lily leaves represent the five founding boroughs of Nettetal.

Geography
Nettetal is located in the middle of the cross-border Maas-Schwalm-Nette Nature Park, along the border with the Netherlands (the northwest edges of Kaldenkirchen and Leuth touch the border), approximately 20 km (12 mi) north-west of Mönchengladbach, Germany, and 10 km (6.2 mi) south-east of Venlo, Netherlands. The Jenische, large number of a local minority lives nearby in the area.
In addition to the river Nette, peat mining from the 16th to the 19th century has resulted in the formation of twelve lakes in the municipality.
The Nette, broad forest, heath areas and lakes (see next section) make Nettetal a central resort in the Maas-Schwalm-Nette Nature Park.
Nettetal features 12 lakes, with a combined area of 179 hectares (440 acres).
