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.
