History
The village was first mentioned in 1417 as "tho Mitzlawere", and means terp of Metsila.[5] Metslawier is a terp (artificial living mound) village which developed before Christ. The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1776 as a replacement of a medieval church.[6]
In 1840, Metslawier was home to 491 people.[4] The town hall is a former inn which was built in 1876. It served as town hall from 1909 until 1984.[6] Jaersma State was a stins which dated from at least 1417. It was demolished in 1771, and later the terp around Jaersma State was excavated.[6][7] The grist mill De Ropta was built in 1836 and 1971. It is no longer in active service.[8]
