History & geography

History

The village was first mentioned between 1381 and 1383 as "to Druwen". The etymology is unclear. Drouwen developed as an esdorp in the Early Middle Ages. It was probably a satellite of Borger. The village has no church, but does have four essen (communal pastures). During the 18th century, the depletion of the soil resulted in a continual increasing sandy area, and a large forest was planted around Drouwen.
