The village was first mentioned in 1223 as Geten. The etymology is unclear.[3] Gieten is an esdorp which developed in the Early Middle Ages on the Hondsrug as a satellite of Anloo. The village started to developed where the road from Groningen to Coevorden intersected with a road to Assen. The former village Bonnen was located to the east and contained the havezate Entinge from 1648 until its demolition in 1768.[4]

The Dutch Reformed Church dates from at least 1302. In 1626, it was heavily damaged during the Dutch Revolt, and rebuilt. The tower was built in 1804 as a replacement of a 17th century tower.[4]
