The village was first mentioned in 1841 as "Dieverbrug of Dieverschebrug", and refers to the bridge which was built around 1770 over the Drentsche Hoofdvaart [nl] on the road from Diever to Dwingeloo.[3]

Dieverbrug was home to 45 people in 1840.[4] The lime kiln was built in 1925. It remained in function until 1952, but has remained as the local landmark.[4]
