The village was first mentioned between 1280 and 1287 as slupewiic. The etymology is unclear.[2] Sluipwijk is a linear settlement inside the Reeuwijkse Plassen, a lake area which developed as a result of the peat excavation in the area.[3]
Sluipwijk was a separate municipality until 1870, when it became part of Reeuwijk. In 1821, Wiltenburg had been added to Sluipwijk.[4]
