The hamlet was first mentioned in 1899 as "Valthermond (Noord en Zuid)", and means "the second (canal) which has its mouth (at a main canal) belonging to Valthe". The eponymous canal was dug in 1861. 2e (second) has been added to distinguish between Valthermond.[3][4] In 2009, its name was officially changed to 2e Valthermond.[5] The canal was dug to excavated the peat from a 7,000 hectares (17,000 acres) raised bog.[5]
