Overview
Overview
The village was first mentioned in 1718 as heyde, and means "heath near Twijzel". Twijzelerheide developed in the 19th century as a heath cultivation project. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from 1878. Twijzelerheide and Zwagerbosch have grown together, and nowadays share resources and can be considered a twin village.
