The village was first mentioned in 1153 as Ouermunte. The current name means "mouth of the Ur", however the Ur has later moved to village.[3] Urmond developed on the higher bank of the Maas. In 1400, it became part of the Duchy of Jülich.[4]
The Old St Martinus Church was built between 1791 and 1793. The medieval tower was placed in 1841. The cemetery is artificially heightened.[4] In 1695, a Dutch Reformed church was built in Urmond which is exceptional in Limburg.[5]
Urmond was home to 600 people in 1840.[5] Urmond was a separate municipality until 1982, when it was merged with Stein.[6]
