The village was first mentioned in 1681 as 't Huys ter Heyde, and means "house on the heath" which is a reference to an inn.[4] Between 1652 and 1653, the main road from Utrecht to Amersfoort was built, and estates and villas were constructed along the road. The Dutch Reformed Church was built between 1858 and 1859[5] Between 1901 and 1941, there was railway stop in the village.[6] The first McDonald's Drive-in restaurant in the Netherlands is located in Huis ter Heide.
