History

The village was first mentioned in 1196 as in Lente. The etymology is unclear.[3]

The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1329. The tower was added in 1886.[4] Lent was home to 1,171 people in 1840.[4]

Lent was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Elst.[5] In 1998, it was merged into Nijmegen. The population at the time of merger was about 3,000 people, however it almost quadrupled in 20 years due to neighbourhoods being built in Lent.[4]
