History


The village was first mentioned between 1250 and 1275 as Abbahem, and means "settlement of Abbe (person)".[5] Abbegea is a terp (artificial living hill) village which developed between 1000 and 1200.[6][7] It was well connected on the waterways, but had no road connections for most of its history.[6]

The Dutch Reformed church is from the middle ages which is surrounded by a moat. The church has been extensively modified in 1809, and a new tower was built.[7][6] The oldest tower remained standing for a while, because there was dispute between the Catholics and the Protestants about who owned the bells.[7]

Abbegea was home to 113 people in 1840.[7]

Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality.[7]
