The first known lords were Henri de Stalle, followed by Florent of Stalle (alderman of Brussels in 1319) and another Florent of Stalle (alderman in 1357), who with his brother Daniel founded the and donated lands in 1369. Dependent
fiefs included Overhem, located between Dieweg and Stalle, and Roetaert in ; Overhem, with its manor, mill, woods, and pasture, was annexed to Stalle in 1465, while Roetaert encompassed 39.78 acres of land and meadows with the manor of Roetaert. The lordship developed further in the 14th–15th centuries, In 1795, under
French rule, Stalle merged with the old ducal village of
Uccle, forming the modern municipality. Around the same period, a cotton-printing factory was established in Stalle, later expanded by
Thomas Wilson in the 1820s with steam power and copper-roller printing, becoming a major industrial site until its decline after
World War I. The opening of the
Brussels–Luttre–Charleroi railway line in 1873, including
Uccle-Stalle railway station, spurred
urbanisation, with eclectic houses built near the station by the late 19th century. From 2016 to 2018, a major
stormwater retention basin was constructed along the , a 1.4 km tunnel with a 4.5 m diameter and five overflow points, designed to hold 20,000–25,000 m3 of water during heavy storms and release it gradually into the sewer network. == Sights ==
