Peperga
Peperga () is a small village in Weststellingwerf in the province Friesland of the Netherlands. As of 2012, it has a population of 87 people. Peperga is located on the A32 between Wolvega and Steenwijk, and is characterized by detached houses, several businesses and a church. There are approximately 35 houses. Public transportation offers a service to the nearby villages of Steggerda and De Blesse. The church, formerly dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is now named after the famous native Peter Stuyvesant (c. 1612 – August 1672), and was completed in 1810.
==History==
The village originates in the Middle Ages and is listed as a parish in 1328; mention of it occurs in the seventeenth-century copy of a 1399 document as ''Pepergae'' (''Pepergo'' is also found, in 1408 and 1510)—''peper'' is a Frisian term for the boggy type of wetland on which the village was built.〔 Peperga and nearby Blesdijke were burned by troops of Frederick of Blankenheim during war in 1413 at the time of the short-lived independence of the Stellingwerf area (comprising Weststellingwerf and Ooststellingwerf). The land was so wet that before 1660 the entire village, including the church, was moved one kilometer to a dryer area. It is found in the 1716 atlas by Bernardus Schotanus à Sterringa as a linear village with buildings exclusively on the north side of the road, except for a church on the south side, in the middle of the area. An 1850 atlas by Wopke Eekhoff shows that the village's meadows were dug up completely for peat. A provincial road in 1828 between Leeuwarden and Zwolle was the impetus for the formation of a new village west of Peperga, De Blesse.〔 De Blesse, like nearby Blesdijke, derives its name from the little river Blesse, which separates Blesdijke from Peperga.
In 1865, the construction of a railway between Zwolle and Leeuwarden split the town in two: it separated Peperga from its west side, an area subsequently added to De Blesse. This division was boosted in the late eighties with the construction of a highway on the east side of the track. Peperga had its own railway station which opened in 1870 (with an adjoining cafe)〔 as an expansion of an earlier home for railroad watchmen and closed on January 5, 1941. In the early seventies, the station was demolished. The nearby bridge over the river Linde is on the list of national state monuments as a Rijksmonument. There are several businesses in the village, including the Café De Landerije along the main road.
