The hamlet was first mentioned between 1839 and 1859 as "de Verkeerde Kanis herbg", and was the name of an inn. Kanis means basket with fish.[2] There is still a restaurant called De Kanis in the village, but it is not clear whether it is related to the original inn. In 1855, a Roman Catholic church was built in the village.[3]
