History
The village was first mentioned in 1248 as Sancti Ioannis ad Lapidem, and means "stone building dedicated to John the Baptist". The stone building refers to a castle which has been known to exists since 1170, and contained a chapel dedicated to John the Baptist. Sint Jansteen is a road village which was a free heerlijkheid (=not a fief). Sint Jansteen was completely demolished on the order of Lt General Pieter de la Rocque, in preparation against the French attack on Hulst during the Austrian Succession War in 1747. De la Rocque was later arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for his war crimes in Loevestein Castle. Sint Jansteen was a separate municipality until 1970, when it was merged with Hulst.
