Willeskop was a separate municipality between 1818 and 1989, when it was merged with Montfoort.[2] A small part went to Oudewater.[3]
It was first mentioned in 1282 as Wilhelmescoop, and means "(peat) concession of Wilhelm".[4] The postal authorities have placed it under Linschoten.[5] It does not have place name signs. In 1840, it was home to 313 people.[3]
