Its history began around 1900 when the Belgian government decided to promote coal mining in the most easterly province of the country. The reason for this was the heavy demand for high-quality coal from steel producers at home and abroad.

The last active colliery in the Limburg region closed down in 1992. Only the colliery near Beringen has survived - as the site of the Flemish Coal Mining Museum.
