History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in 1335 as "in Zole", and means muddy stream.[4] Tersoal is a terp (artificial living hill) village to the south of the former Middelzee.[5] It used to be an isolated village which could only be accessed from the water.[6]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1838 as a replacement of the medieval church.[5] The tower dates from the 14th century.[6]

Tersoal was home to 235 people in 1840.[6] In 1866, a road was built and Tersoal developed in a road village.[5] Before 2011, the village was part of the Boarnsterhim municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Rauwerdhem municipality.[6]
