History

Adorp started in the middle ages as a settlement in a bend in the River Hunze [nl]. Later, the river moved westwards.[4] 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.[5] The church dates from 1667.[4] In 1840, it was home to 1,030 people.[3]
