History
History
Around 1870, Barger-Oosterveld started as a settlement of sod houses to excavate the peat. Later farmers moved into the area. Most of the settlers came from neighbouring Germany. It was first mentioned in 1899 as Bargeroosterveld, and means "eastern field of Barge". In 1932, it was home to 954 people. In 1978, the village was annexed by neighbouring Emmen, and has become a neighbourhood.
