Wapse is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Westerveld, and lies about 21 km northwest of Hoogeveen.
The village was first mentioned in 1384 as "Johanni de Wapse". The etymology is unknown.[3] Wapse is a circular esdorp from the Early Middle Ages. There used to be five hamlets around the central communal pasture.[4]
Wapse was home to 252 people in 1840.[5] In 1897, a cooperative dairy factory was founded in Wapse.[5] In 2016, the village school was scheduled to be closed due to lack of students, however protests have prevented its closure.[6]
