Aadorp
History
The village was first mentioned in 1867 as Aabrug, and means "settlement on the river Aa". The river Aa is nowadays part of the Twentekanaal. It formally exists since 3 November 1930 when the hamlets of Woesten and Buitenwonen were merged into the village of Aadorp. In the early 20th century, it was a peat excavation settlement. There was a railway station of the Mariënberg to Almelo railway line between 1920 and 1938. In 1925, a Dutch Reformed church was built in the village. It was replaced in 1992.
