History
[edit | edit source]Prehistoric settlements have been found in the area. Officially, the village of Vledder was started approximately in the year 500 AD. Situated in a desolate region, the village grew slowly. Around 900 AD seven farms were part of the community. In 1300 this number had risen to 20, at the end of the sixteenth century the farms numbered 29.
Vledder was a separate municipality between 1819 and 1998, when it became a part of Westerveld.[3]
Attractions
