History
The village was first mentioned in 1847 as Scharsterbrug, and the means bridge over the canal running through the Scharren (communal ground).[4] In 1580, the Scharsterrijn was dug for peat excavation in the Scharren. In 1840, it was home to 147 people. In 1911, a dairy factory was constructed and in 1914, a church was built.[5] The Skarrenmoune is a polder mill which was probably built in 1881.[6]
Before 2014, Scharsterbrug was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Doniawerstal.[5]
