== History == Oosterhesselen is an esdorp which developed in the early Middle Ages. It has a large village green with the church in the middle. It was first mentioned in 1207 as Oesterhelsel, and refers to the common hazel tree. Oost (East) has been added to distinguish it from Westerhesselen. Westerhesselen was renamed Darp in the 19th century.
