't Zandt was a separate municipality until 1990, when it was merged with Loppersum.[3] The municipality covered the villages 't Zandt, Zeerijp, Leermens, Eenum and Oosterwijwerd, and the hamlets Zijldijk, Kolhol, Korendijk and 't Zandstervoorwerk.[4]
History
editThe village was first mentioned in 1257 as "in Sonde", and means sand. That year, the monks of Wittewierum started to a dike in order to polder the former Fivel estuary. The polder was completed in 1266, and a sluice was constructed in 1272.[5] At the intersection of the new dike and the perpendicular older dike, a settlement appeared.[6]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the late-13th century, and was enlarged in the 15th century. The tower is detached from the church, and dates from the early 13th century.[6]
't Zandt was home to 779 people in 1840.[7] In 1990, it ceased to be an independent municipality and was merged into Loppersum.[7]
