The town was first noted as early as the 10th century when it was referred to as Daginghem, and means "settlement of the people of Dago or Dano".[3] The village started around the church which was built in 1275. It remained isolated and small until 1829 when the road from Deventer to Hamburg was built.[4]
The location became a municipality in 1818 incorporating the settlements of Noord Deurningen, Lattrop, Breklenkamp, Tilligte, Nutter and Agelo. The municipality merged with Ootmarsum and Weerselo in 2001; the new municipality was first called "Denekamp", but was renamed in 2002 to Dinkelland.[5]
The Town is known in the hardstyle scene, to be home of various Hardstyle DJ's.
