== History == The village was first mentioned in 1740 as Bossenhooft, and means "destination (of the peat ships) of Oudenbosch". Bosschenhoofd started during the peat excavation of the area, and became the replacement harbour for Oudenbosch after 1621. The village developed as a linear settlement in the 19th century.
