History

The village was first mentioned in 1025 as Angarlo, and means "forest near grassland".[3] Angerlo developed as a linear settlement on a river dune. Parts of the Dutch Reformed Church date from the 11th century. The western tower was replaced between 1766 and 1767, and was destroyed in 1945. It was rebuilt between 1948 and 1950. Huis Bingerden is a havezate which was first mentioned in 970. It was extensively modified in 1786, and burnt down in 1945. It was rebuilt in a slightly different form.[4] In 1840, it was home to 325 people.[5]
