'''Wehl''' is a town in the eastern [[Netherlands]], about 5 km west of [[Doetinchem]].
Wehl was a part of [[Prussia]] until 1808, when it was joined to the Netherlands. In those years it was officially a part of [[Zeddam]]. Wehl became an independent municipality in 1813, when it was given back to Prussia; in 1816, it returned to the Netherlands. It remained an independent municipality until the municipal reorganization on [[1 January]] [[2005]], when Wehl became part of the larger neighbouring municipality of Doetinchem.<ref>Ad van der Meer and Onno Boonstra, "Repertorium van Nederlandse gemeenten", KNAW, 2006. [http://www.knaw.nl/cfdata/publicaties/detail.cfm?boeken__ordernr=20061061]</ref>
The former municipality also included the village of [[Nieuw-Wehl]], 3 km to the west.
