history

According to a document, in December 1275, the Lord of Breda gave the Cistercian monastery of St. Bernard in Hemiksem on the Scheldt , a little south of Antwerp , an area of ​​one hundred "hoeven" (a "hoeve" = 20 hectares ; that corresponded to the reason and Soil of an average farm). The donated area was named Halderberge in a file from 1298. Hence the name of the present-day community. The monks founded an abbey there and cleared the moor.

In 1421 the area was hit by the St. Elisabeths storm surge. The 16th and 17th centuries brought war misery and economic setbacks to this area . Even so, this is the period when today's villages emerged. Oudenbosch was named after a formerly cleared forest. Stampersgat after a Stampers family who owned a farm there around 1628.

In the first half of the 19th century, the cultivation of "meekrap" (was madder ) very productive. This plant was harvested for the root, which contains a red dye for textiles. Sugar beet was later grown in its place. The then pastor of Oudenbosch, Hellemans, had a scaled-down copy of the Basilica of St. Peter built in Rome in his home village in 1865 after a visit to the original . The new church was not completed until 1892. In the 20th century there was a seminary in Oudenbosch for decades .
