History

In 1832, the Lutterhoofdwijk canal was dug as a side canal of the Dedemsvaart  [ nl ] to excavate the peat in the area, and a settlement developed along the canal. [3]

On 17 October 1857, it was first mentioned as De Krim (Dutch for Crimea). [4] That year, there was a riot among the peat workers which was suppressed by the Royal Marechaussee; the heavy-handedness of the police action was compared to the Crimean War. [5] [3] De Krim is a popular place name, and occurs 17 times in the Netherlands, [6] including the nearby Nieuwe Krim which begins with Nieuw (New) to distinguish from this village. [7]

In 1862, De Krim obtained an official concession to excavate the peat. [8] From 1890 onwards, the economy was based on potatoes, and in 1906, a potato starch factory opened. In 1911, the factory closed, but reopened as a cooperative and was renamed Onder Ons (Between Us). [3] The factory closed in 1990. [8] In 2004, the former rinse water basin of the factory was turned into a nature area and bird reserve. [9] A watchtower has been constructed for the birdwatchers. [10]

Up to 2000, the main settlement was part of the municipality of Gramsbergen, however the remainder was part of Hardenberg. On 1 January 2001, Gramsbergen was merged into Hardenberg. [8]

The Dollart was poldered from the 15th century until 1924, and the river now has its source at the confluence with the Westerwoldsche Aa at De Bult. The river was canalised and extended. The part from Oude Pekela to Stadskanaal was renamed Pekelderdiep. From 1599 until 1810, the area through which the river flowed, was a peat colony. In the 20th century, the Pekel A was a heavily polluted river, but it has been cleaned up since the 1970s.
