== History == The village was first mentioned in 1613 as Schagerbrugge, and means "bridge (over the Groote Sloot on the road to) Schagen". The village developed shortly after the area was poldered in 1579. Schagerbrug is a cross shaped village with a linear settlement along the Groote Sloot and another linear settlement along the road. It would become the capital of the municipality of Zijpe.
