The village was first mentioned in 1395 or 1396 "Ecclesia de A". The current name means "the old river".^[4] Oud Ade developed as a peat excavation settlement, but remained a small linear settlement. It developed into the village in the 1960s by the addition of planned neighbourhoods. The Catholic St Bavo Church was built in 1868.^[3]
