The village was first mentioned in 1047 as Subenhara. The etymology is unclear. It uses oud (old) to distinguish from Zevenaar which was known as Nieu-Zeventer in 1725, but has reverted to plain Zevenaar.^[3] The village developed along the Oude Rijn.^[4] In 1487, Zevenaar received city rights,^[3] and became the economic centre. The development of Oud-Zevenaar remained limited.^[4] The Catholic St.Martinuskerk was first mentioned in 1276. In 1572, the tower burnt down. The church was restored in 1616.^[4] Grist mill De Hoop was built in 1850.^[5]
