    Kessel was granted city rights in 1312. Kessel has been in partnership with the German city of Grevenbroich since 2016; on 2 December 2017, information boards were unveiled in both places. These boards were placed as a sign of partnership between Peel en Maas and Grevenbroich.

    Kessel is located directly on the Maas at an altitude of approximately 20 metres. Nearby centres are: Baarlo, Helden, Kessel-Eik, Reuver (ferry) and Beesel (ferry). Kessel borders the Heldense Bossen, an extensive forest area with drifting dunes. The village is the southern end point of the Middenpeelweg.
