It was formerly an independent municipality. In 1977 the main part of the settlement became part of the municipality of Zottegem, with a smaller section joining the municipality of Brakel.[1]
From the middle of the 12th century, Sint-Maria-Oudenhove was part of the Land of Aalst in loan by the Lords of Zotegem. In 1675, it became a barony.[1]
The Castle of Lilare is located near the River Zwalm [nl]. The original castle was plundered and set on fire by the troops of Louis XIV during the War of Devolution in 1667.[3] The castle was rebuilt in the late 17th century. In 1933, the castle was bought by the sisters of Saint Francis of Opbrakel and turned into a girl boarding school. The castle is still in use as a school.[4]
During the 20th century, Sint-Maria-Oudenhove became mainly a commuter's community.[1] In 1977, most of the municipality merged into Zottegem with a small area awarded to Brakel. The municipality was home to 2,971 people and covered an area of 8.91 square kilometres (3.44 sq mi).[1]
