Driehuizen is not a statistical entity,[5] and the postal authorities have placed it under Den Burg.[2] Driehuizen does not have place name signs, and consists of a handful of houses.[4]
The oldest inhabitants were from the Merovingian era (450 to ca. 750 AD). Signs of habitation were found in the higher area between Driehuizen, Operen and Immetjeshoeve. At the crossing of the Laanweg, Westerweg and Akenbuurt roads remains of a burial ground were found.
