The village was first mentioned between 1325 to 1336 as Garipe, and means "village of the river bank".[5] Garyp developed into a stretched out village on a sandy ridge. The current Dutch Reformed church dates from 1838, however the first church was built around 1100.[6] Around 1930, the peat in the region was excavated.[7]
Garyp was home to 620 people in 1840.[7]
