History

The village was first mentioned in 1315 as Utresuagh, and means "long meadow with caddle". Lange (long) has been added to distinguish from Kortezwaag  [ nl ]. [4] Kortezwaag was annexed by Gorredijk in 1962 and is now a neighbourhood. [5] The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1781 as a replacement of a medieval church.

Langezwaag was home to 956 people in 1840. [6]
