History
The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Nye Delfsterhuisen, and means settlement near a dug canal.[4] The villages of Delfstrahuizen and Echtenerbrug are separated by a canal. The area around Delfstrahuizen used to be a forest, but was cultivated during the 19th century. In 1840, Delfstrahuizen was home to 287 people. The Dutch Reformed Church dates from 1908. The previous church used to be located near the cemetery, however there are no records what it looked like.[5]
