History


The village was first mentioned in 1482 as Broech, and means "swampy land".[4] Broek is a stretched out settlement, and the signs use Broek-Noord (north) and Broek-Zuid (south), because the two parts are not interconnected. In 1840, it was home to 158 people. The current church dates from 1913. Since 2014, it also functions as a village centre.[5]

Before 2009, Broek was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Doniawerstal.[5]
