Weurt was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Beuningen.^[3]

It was first mentioned in 1148 as Vurdene, and means "land near water".^[4] Weurt developed along the Waal River.^[5] In 1840, it was home to 451 people.^[6]

A large brickworks resulted in a population increase. The 1837 church became too small,^[6] and was replaced by the St Andrews Church which was completed in 1898.^[5] After World War II, the village was extended southwards, and now borders the industrial area of Nijmegen.^[5]
