History

The village was first mentioned in 1622 as Vriesche Palen, and means "Frisian border poles" which refers to the border with the province of Groningen.^[4] A sconce was built in 1593 on the border to guard against the Spanish.^[4] The sconce was conquered in 1672 by Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Prince-Bishop of Münster.^[5]

In 1650, the Drachtster Compagnonsvaart was dug and Frieschepalen developed into a peat colony. In 1927, a Reformed Church was built in the village.^[5]
