History
Koekange was founded by the heer of Echten to excavate the peat. It was first mentioned in 1290 as Kukange, and refers to Cockaigne, the mythical land of plenty. It was a road village on the dike along the Koekanger Aa. The first church was built in 1331, and was replaced by a new church in 1834. A railway station was opened in 1870, but closed again in 1940.
