History
Maaskantje is linked together with the village of Den Dungen. Before 1996, Maaskantje was part of the municipality of Den Dungen instead of the municipality of Sint-Michielsgestel. In 1996, Den Dungen became part of Sint-Michielsgestel.
The Dutch Comedy Central sketch show New Kids that takes place in the village has generated tourism to the village.[1] The village's signs were stolen by New Kids fans and the municipality decided not to replace them.[2]
