Became independent in March 2012 from Dutch municipality Valkenburg aan de Geul after severe unhappiness by citizens and has since developed into a high-worthy community drawing in citizens on a small basis, buying up non-used acres of land once in a year from surrounding Dutch municipalities, in order to expand.
It also has a radio antenna, from which it broadcasts the local radio and has its' own TV station, hosted by TheRagingFalcon TV (TRF TV)
On 3 November, 2014, it was announced in a breaking news press release, that the nearby village of Hulsberg, has been bought from Dutch municipality Nuth.
