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.[3] 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.[4] There was a railway station of the Mariënberg to Almelo railway line between 1920 and 1938.[5] In 1925, a Dutch Reformed church was built in the village. It was replaced in 1992.[4]
