Used to be one mark with Klein-Driene. In the 15th to 18th century the erfmarkerichter, was the same as the erfmarkerichter in Woolde and Oele, which led to One markeboek, and joint meetings, they were however separate marks. After 1761 the meetings were held separately. Was separated from Klein-Driene because of a border division between the parochies of Oldenzaal and Enschede. Gave 38 ha to Klein-Driene at separation for their right to cut turf in groot driene.
