Oudeschild a harbour town with flair
And the home port of the Texel fishing fleet, which consists of 30 cutters and can be admired at the weekend in the port. Many other fishing boats and sailing and leisure boats also use the port facilities.

The history of the village dates back to the 17th century, when the first houses were built here. During this time, the East Indian Company stopped regularly at Oudeschild harbour to wait for the good weather and sea conditions for the long voyages.
