[1] The municipality is bordered by Wijchen and Heumen to the north, Mook en Middelaar, Gennep and Bergen (Limburg) to the east, Venray to the south and Oss, Maashorst, Boekel and Gemert-Bakel to the west.

The Land van Cuijk was given in pledge to William the Silent in 1559. During the Eighty Years' War, Grave was conquered in 1602 by Maurice of Nassau, later Prince of Orange. The Land van Cuijk remained in an uncertain position between the Spanish and the Dutch Netherlands until it joined the Dutch Republic at the Treaty of Münster in 1648. It was added to Staats-Brabant: a generality land that was administered from The Hague by the States General of the Republic.
The Catholic religion was suppressed (but tolerated) and the churches were taken over by the handful of Protestants who ruled. The Catholics were initially dependent on a border church in Oeffelt, in order to be allowed to move into a barn church on the Molenstraat after 1672.
After the foundation of the Batavian Republic in 1795, all lordships were abolished. The Land van Cuijk became part of Batavian Brabant.
The name Land van Cuijk refers to the former seigniory of the same name. The seigniory was bordered by the Maas and the Peel and consisted of two areas that were separated from each other by the seigniory of Boxmeer.
The first elections for the municipality were held on 24 November 2021.
