It was first mentioned in 1575 as Den afterbos, and means forest which is located backwards (far away).[2] Achterbos is not a statistical entity,[3] and the postal authorities have placed it under Vinkeveen.[1] Until the 19th century, it was a hard to reach peninsula in the moorland. In 1880, the area around Achterbos was poldered. Achterbos nowadays consists of about 120 houses.[4]
