History

The village was first mentioned around 1240 as "parrochia beati Augustini", and means "village of Augustine of Hippo". [4] Augustinusga is a road village which developed on the intersection of the roads from Buitenpost to Drachten and Surhuizum. [5] In 1240, Gerke Harkema from Augustinusga founded the village of Gerkesklooster. In 1242, Huwe Harkema, his brother, founded Buweklooster  [ nl ]. [6]

The Protestant church of Augustinusga was built in the 15th century and has a 13th century tower which is slight detached from the church. The poldermolen is a tjasker, simple pumping mill, which was originally located in Blessum and moved to Augustinusga in 1972. [5] In 1840, it was home to 600 people. [6] In 1897, a dairy factory was opened which resulted in further development. The factory closed in 1968. [5]
