History

The village was first mentioned in 1318 as "dat Nuweland van Vortrap", and means " polder of the Count". Before 1316, William III, Count of Holland ordered the construction of a dike around Voortrappen. It was first called 's-Gravenpolder in 1386. [3] The polder and village were owned by the Count of Holland until 1430. 's-Gravenpolder developed as a linear road village. [4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a Gothic cruciform church with built-in tower. The choir probably dates from the late-14th century. The tower and nave were constructed in the early-15th century. [4] It was severely damaged during World War II. [5] During the renovation of 1959 to 1961, the plaster was removed and the current spire was built. [4]

The grist mill De Korenhalm was built in 1876. An electro motor was installed in a shed near the wind mill. Since 1992, it is owned by a foundation and still in service. [6]

's-Gravenpolder was home to 577 people in 1840. [5] In 1927, a joint railway station with 's-Heer Abtskerke opened on the Goes to Hoedekenskerke. It closed in 1947. [7] The village was severely damaged during World War II. [4] 's-Gravenpolder was a separate municipality until 1970 when it merged into Borsele. [8]
