History
The village was first mentioned in 1740 as Bossenhooft, and means "destination (of the peat ships) of Oudenbosch".[2] Bosschenhoofd started during the peat excavation of the area, and became the replacement harbour for Oudenbosch after 1621.[1] The village developed as a linear settlement in the 19th century.[3]
Bosschenhoofd was home to 269 people in 1840.[1] The Seppe railway station was built in 1854 on the Roosendaal to Breda railway line. It was closed in 1940. The building is nowadays used as a flower shop.[4] The Catholic Sacred Heart of Jesus Church was built in 1928. It was severely damaged during World War II, and rebuilt in 1946.[3] Seppe Airport was built in 1949. In 2008, it was privatised and has been renamed Breda International Airport. In 1975, the village was officially named Bosschenhoofd.[1]
