The village was first mentioned in 1343 or 1344 as "van Westenlande", and means "western land". It was located on the former island of Wieringen. Wester (western) has been added to distinguish from Oosterland.[3]
The Dutch Reformed church is a single aisled church. The tower dates from around 1500. The current roof was probably added during the 1913 restoration.[4]
