History
The village was first mentioned in 1622 as Nieubrongerga1. De Knipe means artificial narrowing of a stream, and refers to the sluice in the Schoterlandse Compagnonsvaart. There used to be two settlements: Boven-Knijpe which was also known as Nieuw Katlijk and Beneden Knijpe also Nieuw Brongerga. In 1970, both settlements were joint as De Knipe.[2] The Protestant Church dates from 1661 and is plastered white, and therefore informally called White Church. The Mennonite church dates from 1751. In 1840, Boven-Knijpe was home to 571 people and Beneden-Knijpe had a population of 643 people.[3]
