Location in the province of North Brabant in the Netherlands
Aalst experienced rapid growth during the 1970s and 1980s as housing estates were built in the Ekenrooi area, which served as an overflow area for Eindhoven. Despite this development the area remains very green and pleasant with large stretches of managed forest and heathland. Notable places include 'De hut van Mie Pils', a cafe and restaurant located in the wooded area in the east of the municipality.
The spoken language is Kempenlands (an East Brabantian dialect, one of the many southern dialects of Dutch).[3]
Economy
In recent decades, Aalst has developed from an agricultural community into a village of Eindhoven. From 1919 there was an industrial company (Brabantia) that makes metals and plastics household products sold worldwide, located in Aalst. Today, Brabantia's head office is located in Valkenswaard.
