History

The village was first mentioned around 1312 as Oestenwoude, and means "eastern forest". Oost (east) has been added to distinguish from Midwoud and Nibbixwoud.[3] Oostwoud developed in the Late Middle Ages as a peat excavation settlement.[4] A large part of the village burnt down in 1710 due to arson.[5]

The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church with wooden ridge turret built in 1753. The church was expanded around 1875.[4]

Oostwoud was home to 310 people in 1840.[5] In 1878, a joint railway station with Midwoud opened on the Hoorn to Medemblik railway line. The line closed in 1941.[6]
