History
The village was first mentioned in 1306 as Methuisen, and means "middle houses".[3] Meedhuizen originates from the 13th century.[4]
The Dutch Reformed church could date from the 13th century, but has extensively modified in 1703. In 1803, the tower was added and slightly enlarged in 1833.[4]
Meedhuizen was home to 164 people in 1840.[5] The village used to be located between three lakes: Meedhuizermeer, Farmsumermeer and the Proostmeer which were poldered between 1870 and 1900.[5] Between 1869 and 1871, the canal of Duurswold [nl] was dug and there was a slight expansion..[4]
