== History == The village was first mentioned in 1578 as "Graefdyeck ofte Vuylen Graft", and means "dike on (de Vuylen) Graft River". West- has been added to distinguish from Oost-Graftdijk. West-Graftdijk developed on the former island in the second half of the 16th century after a dike was built around the lake.
