It was first mentioned in 1331 as Eghen. The etymology is unclear.[4] The postal authorities have placed it under Hellendoorn.[5] In 1840, it was home to 177 people. An havezate (manor house) was known to exist in Egede as early as 1382. It has long since been demolished, and only the gates remain.[6]
