15th–18th century

The village was first mentioned in 1408 as Jobbegae, and means village of Jobbe (person).[3] The village merged with neighbouring Schurega, together known as Jubbega-Schurega.

The Dutch Reformed Church in Jubbega was completed in 1715.[4] The tower was completed in 1910.[4] In 1774, a new sluice was constructed for the peat excavation and a little settlement developed around the sluice.

19th–21st century

In 1840, Jubbega-Schurega was home to 203 people.[5]

In 1934, the municipality of Schoterland was split up.[5] Jubbega was annexed to Heerenveen.[5] In the 1950s–1970s, the population of Jubbega hovered around 3000. In 1974, the name of the village was shortened to Jubbega.[5]

Since the late 1990s, the number of inhabitants varies around 3300.
