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]
