Stampersgat was home to 134 people in 1840. The village was completely destroyed in 1944. The village used to be part of the municipality of Oud en Nieuw Gastel. In 1993, the Province of North Brabant suggested a merger into Steenbergen. The inhabitants of Stampersgat protested the decision and wanted to merge with Oudenbosch. A majority voted for Oudenbosch in a referendum. In 1997, it was merged into Halderberge, the new name for the municipality of Steenbergen.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/stampersgat |title=Stampersgat |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=16 April 2022 |language=nl}}
