The village, often described as a picturesque village between the meadows, is already mentioned in 1277. It is a small village that consists of a late gothic church, a few farms, some houses, an inn/café, a presbytery and a sexton's house. In 2006 36 people lived there. The whole village is a protected village sight.
't Woudt was part of the grave court of Delft from which the reclamation was started around 1150. In 1561 't Woudt counted two farms, nine cottages, an inn, a presbytery and a verger's house. The uniqueness is that this number has hardly changed in the course of time. Old maps show that the pattern of the buildings has remained the same to this day.
't Woudt was established as an independent municipality on 1 January 1812 with the addition of the Batavian municipalities of Groeneveld, Hoog- en Woud-Harnasch and part of Hof van Delft. On 1 April 1817 these additions were undone and the municipality of 't Woudt was dissolved and divided over these three municipalities again.
