History

The village was first mentioned in 1401 as Herdegaryp. The etymology is unclear. Originally the centre of the village was located further south. In 1830, the road to Leeuwarden was built. The Hurdegaryp railway station followed in 1866, and the centre of the village moved towards to the road and station. The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1711 and has a wooden tower. It was a replacement for a 13th century church. Up to 1829, the Grovestins, a fortified tower was located to the south of the village. but its population has grown to around five thousand as of 2021. Hurdegaryp was the focus of national attention in the early 1950s, over a decision of the local Dutch Reformed Church Council to stop the formation of a Christian school.
