History
The village was first mentioned in 1458 as "Gheter vene", and means "peat (colony) belonging to Gieten.[3] Gieterveen developed after 1450 on a sandy ridge of the Hondsrug as a satellite of Gieten.[4] It started as a peat excavation colony, and the rent of the houses used to be paid by peat.[5] In 1840, it became an independent parish.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from 1840 and has been built in a neoclassic style. Around 1915, a consistory has been added to the back of the church.[4]
Gieterveen was home to 595 people in 1840. The figure seems high, but there were probably barracks for the nearby peat excavation projects.[5]
