History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century Clepesdor. The etymology is unclear.[4] Slappeterp is a terp (artificial living hill) village from the beginning of our era. It is an agricultural community. The village is connected to the Harlingertrekvaart via a canal.[5]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1926 as a replacement of an earlier church.[6] The church was designed by Hendrik Hendriks Kramer and has expressionistic details.[5]

Slappeterp was home to 113 people in 1840.[6] Until 2018, the village was part of the Menameradiel municipality.[6]
