== History == Adorp started in the middle ages as a settlement in a bend in the River Hunze. Later, the river moved westwards. It was first mentioned as Artharpe in 1371. The origin of the name is unclear, it seems to read river (A) village (dorp), however the earliest names started with Ar. The church dates from 1667. In 1840, it was home to 1,030 people.
