History


The village was first mentioned in 1444 as Korteham, and means "short silted land near a stream".[4] Korteham developed on a sandy ridge along the river Drait [fy] with Kortehemmen on one side and Zuider Drachten (nowadays part of Drachten) on the other. Around 1300, a church was built in the village. No tower was built and a belfry was added instead.[5] The current belfry dates from 1950.[6]

Kortehemmen was home to 127 people in 1840.[5] In 1939, a conference centre was opened in the village by the Woodbrookers [nl]. Kortehemmen was physically cut off from Drachten by the construction of the A7 motorway.[6]
