History
The village was first mentioned in 976 as Campan, and means "land of Kampen", a former village which used to be located in the area,[3] and was lost in the flood of 1530. Kamperland is a road village which developed in the second half of the 18th century after the Heer Janszpolder was diked in 1699.[4]
Kamperland was home to 170 people in 1840.[5] The Dutch Reformed church is an aisleless church which was built in 1901. A little open tower and consistory were added in 1911.[4] The church was decommissioned in 1997, and is used as brasserie since 1998.[5]
From the 1970s onwards, a recreational zone developed near the harbour and along the Veerse Meer.[4] Kamperland used to be part of the municipality of Wissenkerke. In 1995, it was merged into Noord-Beveland.[5]
