'''Boxtel''' ({{IPA|nl|ˈbɔkstəl}}) is a [[Municipalities of the Netherlands|municipality]] and a town in the southern [[Netherlands]]. The name derives from Buchestelle and is presumably a combination of 'stelle' (Dutch for stable, safe place) and (deer) [[deer|buck]].<ref>2019. Etymologiebank.Nl. Accessed April 27 2019. [http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/boxtel].</ref>

This is the origin of the Van Boxtel family, which has numerous descendants in [[North Brabant]].

The town was the site of the [[Battle of Boxtel]] fought in September 1794 during the [[Low Countries theatre of the War of the First Coalition|Flanders campaign]]. It is often principally remembered as the first battle of the future [[Duke of Wellington|Duke of Wellington Arthur Wellesley]].
