Vledder was mentioned for the first time in a deed from 1402 when the church was founded, but has a history that goes back much further.
Archeologists have found remains of camps of reindeer hunters in the old stone age, some 15000 year ago.
And very close to Vledder a number small burial hills (tumuli) with a total of 318 urns were discovered, which suggests that people have lived there around 1000 BC.
And in Vledder itself remains from houses dating back to 700 have been found.
