History
The village was first mentioned after 1570 as niuwe zijl, and means "sluice in the old Bildt. It refers to a sluice from 1505. In 1600, the Nieuwe Bildtdijk was constructed and oude (old) was added to distinguish from Template:Ill.[3] In 1504, a deal was struck between George, Duke of Saxony and four noblemen from Holland to polder the Middelzee. In 1505, a dike (Oude Bildtdijk) was constructed.[4] The sluice was renewed in 1906.[5]
In 1806, a Mennonite Church was built in Oudebildtzijl. In 1909, the church was enlarged and a clergy house with tower was added to the front. The Juliana tower is in neoclassic style with an open pavilion.[5] The church was decommissioned in 1997, and nowadays serves as visitor centre for the nature area Aerden Plaats.[2]
Oudebildtzijl was home to 604 people in 1840.[2] In 1948, it became a village.[6]
