Throughout its history Bangert has been competing with surrounding municipalities (esp. Andijk and Kerkbuurt) for land and population. For instance, in 1667 neighbouring Kerkbuurt acquired a church and began pulling away some of Bangert's inhabitants. In the 19th and 20th centuries, poverty combined with landgrabbing by Wervershoof also diminished the village.^{[citation needed]}

Andijk annexed Bangert, Kerkbuurt [nl] and Munnikij [nl] which are now considered neighbourhoods of Andijk. In 2011, it became part of the Medemblik municipality.[3]
