Volthe is not a statistical entity,^[2] and the postal authorities have placed it under Rossum.^[3] It was first mentioned in the late-10th century as Uuluht. The etymology is unclear.^[4] In 1840, it was home to 542. Nowadays, it consists of about 200 houses.^[5]

It is a rural area with spread out farms and houses, some of them in the timber framed style of the traditional Low German house.

A fortified house, het Everlo, serves as a starting point for walks to the nearby nature reserve Roderveld [nl].
