The town was first mentioned between 1325 and 1336 as "tot Oesterwolde", and means eastern forest.[4] Oosterwolde developed between two brinks (communal pastures). The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1735 as a replacement of a medieval church.[5]

Oosterwolde was home to 548 people in 1840.[6] In 1886, Oosterwolde became the capital of the municipality of Ooststellingwerf. In 1887, Frico (nowadays: FrieslandCampina) opened a dairy factory in the village. The cooperative purchasing agency "Oosterwolde" opened factory in 1915 which is a combination of rational and Jugendstil architecture.[5]
