15th–18th century

The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Jobbegae, and means village of Jobbe (person). [3] The village merged with neighbouring Schurega, together known as Jubbega-Schurega.

The Dutch Reformed Church in Jubbega was completed in 1715. [4] The tower was completed in 1910. [4] In 1774, a new sluice was constructed for the peat excavation and a little settlement developed around the sluice.

19th–21st century

In 1840, Jubbega-Schurega was home to 203 people. [5]

In 1934, the municipality of Schoterland was split up. [5] Jubbega was annexed to Heerenveen. [5] In the 1950s–1970s, the population of Jubbega hovered around 3000. In 1974, the name of the village was shortened to Jubbega. [5]

Since the late 1990s, the number of inhabitants varies around 3300.
