In the early days, the name of the village was written as Redinchem. In the 19th century, Renkum developed itself. There existed six paper mills, three water-cornmills and one water-oil mill. There were two factories, a treacle factory and a potato starch-flour factory.
During World War II, Renkum was involved in the Battle of Arnhem.[2][3][4]
