The village was first mentioned in 1107 as Sunna, and might mean creek. Son developed in the Middle Ages along the Dommel River, and has a triangular market square. The church tower dates from around 1500. The matching church burnt down in 1958 and demolished in 1962. In 1960, the St Petrus church was built as a replacement, but at some distance from the tower. Son was home to 391 people in 1840. During World War II, it was the site of a bridge, the capture of which was crucial to the success of Operation Market Garden in September 1944. The bridge itself was featured in the 1977 war film A Bridge Too Far. Gallery
