History

The village was first mentioned in 1299 as van Scoeten. The name means "corner of higher land". Oude (old) has been added to distinguish between Nieuweschoot. In 1299, a nunnery of the German order was founded in Oudeschoot, and has existed until 1580.^[4] Oudeschoot used to be the capital of the grietenij (predecessor of a municipality) Schoterland [ nl ] until 1934. In 1828, the main road from Leeuwarden to Zwolle was built through the village, and was later joined by a railway line.^[5] Since 1600, the Skoattermerk, an annual market is held on the second day of Pentecost, and is the oldest extant market in the northern provinces.^[6]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1752.^[5] In 1840, it was home to 452 people.^[6] Julia Jan Woutersstichting is a retirement home which was built in 1901 on the grounds of the 1763 manor house Veenwijk. The home is built in Renaissance Revival style and is surrounded by a large park.^[5]

Before 1934, Oudeschoot was part of the Schoterland municipality.^[6] In 1965, a large part of the village was annexed by Heerenveen.^[6]
