Erp is a town in the southern Netherlands. It is located in the province of North Brabant, between Den Bosch and Eindhoven. Before 1994, the municipality of Erp included the villages of Boerdonk and Keldonk. After that year, Erp and the two villages became part of the municipality of Veghel due to government reorganization. The municipality of Veghel consists of Veghel, Erp, Boerdonk, Keldonk, Mariaheide, Zijtaart and Eerde. The town of Veghel is located a mere 3 miles northwest of Erp and other neighboring towns include Uden (north), Boekel (east), Gemert (southeast), Beek en Donk (south), and Sint-Oedenrode (west). The town hall of Erp dates from 1791. It lost its main function when Erp was annexed to the municipality of Veghel in 1994. Both the town hall and the Saint Servatius Church are on the national list of historic preservation. The old municipality of Erp included the villages of Boerdonk and Keldonk. This area inhabits about 6,000 residents. The current municipality of Veghel, with Erp included, counts almost 37,000 residents.
