De Kampen is a hamlet located on a terp. In 1433 it was mentioned as Op dae Campen and in 1640 and 1664 as De Campen,[2] a name that would indicate pieces of land or fields that were separated.[3] It then consisted of one farm that bore this name, which is still the name of a distillery in the hamlet.[4] Three other farms were added in the 19th century.[5]
