The village was first mentioned in 1913 as Stobbegat. In 1958, it changed its name to Vegelinsoord after the Vegelin van Claerbergen family.[4]
The polder mill De Deels or Grevensmolen is located near the village. The windmill dates from 1860 and has remained in service to drain excess water throughout its existence.[5]
Before 2014, Vegelinsoord was part of the Skarsterlân municipality and before 1984 it was part of Haskerland.[6]
