History
History
The village was first mentioned in 1436 as Cogersdyck, and means "land on water". De Koog is a road village which developed in the dunes during the 14th century. It used to be a fishing village up to the middle of the 16th century until the Anegat silted. In 1570, the village was flooded, and in 1840 was home to 81 people. In 1896, a pavilion was established. A hotel followed in 1908, and De Koog developed into a tourist resort. After World War II, it developed into the main beach village due to its proximity to the sea.
