The village was first mentioned in 1162 as Sutburch and used to mean "southern fortified place" because it was the most southern of three defensive structures to defend against the Vikings. Oost (east) was added later to distinguish it from West-Souburg. Oost-Souburg developed around the 9th century walled fortification. The fortification was abandoned in the 10th century.
