Oosterstreek

Oosterstreek (West Frisian: Easterstreek) is a small village in Weststellingwerf in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

[3] The village was first mentioned in 1974 as Oosterstreek, and is a new name for the linear settlement along the Noordwolde to Boijl road,[4] however it was first used around 1930 by the local football club.

It means "eastern region" (as viewed from Noordwolde).

The area around Oosterstreek was a peat excavation region, and nowadays mainly consists of heath.
