The hamlet was first mentioned in 1381 as "dat dorpe 't gene Hoit", and means "forest belonging to Arnold (person)".[3]

Arensgehnout was home to 287 people in 1840.[4] In 1850, the remains of the Roman villa Steenland were discovered.[5]

The former monastery Ravensbos was built in 1885 with school and boarding house and was intended as a seminary. It was sold in the late-20th century, and has a residential function.[6]
