History

The village was first mentioned in 1622 as "de Rottevalle", and literally means "the rat trap", but has been named after a type of lock which resembles a rat trap. [4] Rottevalle developed 1650 when the canal De Lits was dug for the excavation of peat. The initial settlement consisted of an inn with several houses. The village was originally part of the grietenij (predecessor of a municipality) Achtkarspelen. The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1724. [5]

Rottevalle was home to 1,050 people in 1840. [6] In 1943, the border was redrawn and Rottevalle became part of Smallingerland. In 1958, part of the De Lits was filled up inside the village. [5]
