Baarlo is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality Steenwijkerland, about 1 km northwest of the city of Blokzijl.
It was first mentioned in 1219 as Barlo, and means "barren forest".[3] During the Middle Ages, it used to have a chapel, however it was damaged in a 1825 flood, and demolished in 1836.[4] Until the Noordoostpolder was reclaimed, the village lay on the dyke of the IJsselmeer. In 1840, it was home to 145 people.[4]
Baarlo should not be confused with the village with the same name in the municipality of Zwartewaterland, about 15 km to the southeast.
