The village was first mentioned in 1974 as Oosterstreek, and is a new name for the linear settlement along the Noordwolde to Boijl road,[4] however it was first used around 1930 by the local football club. It means "eastern region" (as viewed from Noordwolde). The area around Oosterstreek was a peat excavation region, and nowadays mainly consists of heath.[5]
