Een-West is a statistical entity,[1] and has its own postal code.[3] however it is considered part of Een and outside the build-up area.[4] The area used to be close to uninhabited, but had a strategic value.[4] In 1593, the stadtholder William Louis of Nassau built a sconce at Zwartendijksterschans on road between Friesland and Drenthe through the moorland. Later the sconce deteriorated and the area became part of Drenthe. The sconce was restored in 1980.[5] In 1928, a little church was built in Een-west.[4]
