The village was first mentioned in 1167 as Artevelde. It was originally road village in an infertile wilderness. The burgraves of Ertvelde used to have a motte-and-bailey castle since at least the 12th century. The castle was destroyed in 1385 during the Revolt of Ghent. The village continued to be plagued by war until the early 18th century. During the 19th century, Ertvelde started to industrialise and become a trade centre due to its location along the Ghent–Terneuzen Canal. The town and surrounding villages were severely damaged and bombed both in 1940 and 1944. [2] [3]
