Kille is a hamlet in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is a part of the municipality of Altena, and lies northwest of Nieuwendijk, and about 8 km southwest of Gorinchem.[1]
Kille is not a statistical entity,[2] and the postal authorities have placed it under Nieuwendijk.[3]
It was first mentioned in 1874 as Kille, and means gully. The name is a reference to the stream Bakkerskil.[4] It has become a single urban area with Nieuwendijk, but still has its own place name signs. Kille was home to 216 people in 1840. Nowadays it consists of about 100 houses.[5]
