History
The village was first mentioned in 1652 as St. Martenshoek, and means "neighbourhood with Martin of Tours as a patron saint".[2] Martenshoek developed near the sluice on the Winschoterdiep. It was the gateway to the peat colonies, and developed into a trade and industry centre.[3]
Martenshoek was home to 570 people in 1840.[3] In 1905, a railway station opened in the village.[4]
Martenshoek forms a single urban area with Hoogezand and is considered a neighbourhood of Hoogezand. A large part of the neighbourhood consists of industry.[3]
