The village was first mentioned in 1320 as Oldeholtwolt, and means "old low-lying wood". Olde (old) has been added to distinguish from Nijeholtwolde.[4] The Dutch Reformed church was destroyed in a storm around 1700. A new church was built in 1875.[5][6]
In 1840, Oldeholtwolde was home to 149 people.[6]
