History
The village was first mentioned between 822 and 856 as "in Hustinga". The etymology is unclear.[4] Huizinge is a terp (artificial living hill) village with a grid like structure. Part of the terp was later been excavated..[5]
The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 13th century. The 14th century tower was enlarged in 1847, but replaced again in 1868 by the current tower,[5] because the structure leaked and the wood started to rot.[6]
Huizinge was home to 263 people in 1840.[6]
