The discovery of brown coal, mined on the surface from 1930 to 1966, had a profound impact on the Hostens landscape. Some traces of this mining past remain, notably the railway line. Today, a cycle path links Belin-Beliet and the Arcachon basin to Saint-Symphorien, and beyond to Villandraut and Bazas. Some historians trace the history of Hostens back to the 13th century, with the supposed presence of a castle at Le Castéra. In the heart of the Landes forest, the timber industry is the commune's main economic activity, with silviculturists, carpenters and joiners.
