History

[edit | edit source]

The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Potterwolt, and means "the woods of Potter (person)".[4] Paterswolde is a road village from the Early Middle Ages which started to develop when peat was excavation in the nearby raised bog.[5]

During the 18th and 19th century, villas and estates were built in Paterswolde mainly by nobility and industrialists from the city of Groningen.[5]

Paterswolde was home to 795 people in 1840.[3] The Paterwoldsemeer (nl) and the Friesche Veen (nl) became a water sports and recreational area during the 20th century. Between 1955 and 1956, the Assumption of Mary Church was built in Paterswolde.[5]
