[1] The history of the town dates back to approximately 1200, when the name of Enter first appeared in writings.

In comparison with surrounding villages, a large percentage of the inhabitants is Roman Catholic or not religious.

Like many villages in Twente and the Achterhoek, the indigenous population of Enter have nicknames like Broeze (Velten family), Timmerjans (Schuitemaker), Saaltink (another branch of the Velten family), Boone (Roetgerink), Pöppen (Mekenkamp), Knibbelhein (Hein Waanders), Stiems (ter Steege), Streef (an area just outside the village) and De Moane (Manenschijn or Moonshine).

A difference with the other villages is that much of the nicknames in Enter are not derived from the name of the farm of the family.

Voters in Enter are more progressive and left oriented in comparison to surrounding villages.

The E11 runs all the way from Den Haag to the east, at the present time all the way to the border between Poland and Lithuania.

The biggest wooden shoe in the world from one piece of timber is located in Enter.
