History
In 1934, the municipality of Heerenveen was formed by the merging of Aengwirden, Schoterland, and portions of Haskerland. During this merger, Haskerland absorbed villages from the defunct Schoterland including Delfstrahuizen, Rohel, Rotstergaast, Rotsterhaule, Rottum and Sintjohannesga.
In 1984, Haskerland and the neighboring Doniawerstal merged to create the new municipality of Skarsterlân; except for Delfstrahuizen, which joined Lemsterland.
