History

The first time Dantumadeel is mentioned was in a document from 1242. In that time Dantumadeel, or Donthmadeil as it was then known, was a part of the Winninghe district, the northern part of Oostergo. The grietenij (municipality) Dantumadeel was lead by a grietman (mayor) who was holding office in Rinsumageest and Dantumawoude. The Dutch Municipalities Act of 1851 (Dutch: Gemeentewet van 1851) abolished the grietenijen, which automatically became gemeenten (municipalities) headed by a mayor.(External Link)
