History

The village was first mentioned in 1508 as Wigher ter Tille. Kootstertille means bridge near the village of Kooten (=little houses) which was built in 1571. The settlement quickly outgrew Kooten, and both were officially merged in 1959 as Koostertille. [4] In 1840, it was home to 132 people. The Protestant church was built in 1883. Its location along the canal which is nowadays called Prinses Margrietkanaal  [ nl ] started to attract industry. In the late 1930s, the canal was diverted and a little harbour was created which further stimulated development. [5]
