History
The village was first mentioned in 1450 as Ee, and means "water / river".[6] Ie is a terp (artificial living mound) village with a radial structure. It developed several centuries before Christ. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 16th century and has a 13th-century nave. The tower was built in 1869.[7] Up to 1729, a dike made inland navigation, and the nearby hamlet of Tibma [nl] had to be used as inland harbour.[8]
Ie was densely populated. There was no construction outside the terp until the 18th century.[8] In 1840, Ie was home to 904 people.[4]
The village's official name was changed from Ee to Ie in 2023.[9][10]
