It was a road village on the dike along the Koekanger Aa. The first church was built in 1331, and was replaced by a new church in 1834. In 1840, there were 243 people living in the southern village and 263 in the northern village. The two parts merged into a single settlement. In 1870, it was once again split into two due to the construction of the Meppel–Groningen railway. A railway station was opened in 1870, but closed again in 1940.
