History


Koekange was founded by the heer of Echten to excavate the peat.[3] It was first mentioned in 1290 as Kukange, and refers to Cockaigne, the mythical land of plenty.[4] It was a road village on the dike along the Koekanger Aa. The first church was built in 1331, and was replaced by a new church in 1834.[3] In 1840, there were 243 people living in the southern village and 263 in the northern village. The two parts merged into a single settlement. In 1870, it was once again split into two due to the construction of the Meppel–Groningen railway.[5] A railway station was opened in 1870, but closed again in 1940.[6]
