History
[edit ]Already in 1765, there was mention of the Jonkersgruppel, a waterway for the drainage of water during peat extraction.[3] Around 1780, peat extraction received a new impulse under squire Ferdinand Folef von Innhausen und Kniphausen (1735-1795) and his wife Anna Maria Graafland, who had a navigable canal built. The canal and the village owe their name to this squire. The Gravelandwijk is named after Anna Maria Graafland, a neighborhood that is connected to the Jonkersvaart via the Zandwijk.[4]
In 1871, a connection with Friesland was made via the Wilpstervaart. The Jonkersverlaat was constructed for this purpose.
