Adorp (Dutch: [ˈaːdɔr(ə)p]; Gronings: Oadörp [ˈʊːdœːp]) is a village in the municipality of Het Hogeland, Netherlands. It is located about 6 km north of Groningen. Until 1990, Adorp was a separate municipality, however the seat was in Sauwerd.[3]

History

[edit]

Adorp started in the middle ages as a settlement in a bend in the River Hunze. Later, the river moved westwards.[4] It was first mentioned as Artharpe in 1371. The origin of the name is unclear, it seems to read river (A) village (dorp), however the earliest names started with Ar.[5] The church dates from 1667.[4] In 1840, it was home to 1,030 people.[3]
