In 1832, the Lutterhoofdwijk canal was dug as a side canal of the {{ill|Dedemsvaart (canal)|nl|Dedemsvaart (kanaal)|lt=Dedemsvaart}} to excavate the peat in the area, and a settlement developed along the canal.{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu03_01/sten009monu03_01_0024.php |title=De Krim |author=Ronald Stenvert & Jan ten Hove |year=1998 |page=80 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9200 1 |language=nl |access-date=14 March 2022}}
On 17 October 1857, it was first mentioned as De Krim (Dutch for Crimea).{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071009205057/http://www.hardenberg.nl/smartsite.shtml?id=15866 |url=http://www.hardenberg.nl/smartsite.shtml?id=15866 |archive-date=9 October 2007 |title=Historische gebeurtenissen |website=Hardenberg |access-date=14 March 2022 |language=nl}} That year, there was a riot among the peat workers which was suppressed by the Royal Marechaussee; the heavy-handedness of the police action was compared to the Crimean War.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/dekrim |title=De Krim - (geografische naam)|website=Etymologiebank |access-date=14 March 2022 |language=nl}} De Krim is a popular place name, and occurs 17 times in the Netherlands,{{cite web|url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/rent001groe01_01/rent001groe01_01_0005.php |title=Groeten van Elders |page=23 |author=Rob Rentenaar |year=1990 | publisher=Strengholt |location=Naarden |isbn=90-6010-696-2}} including the nearby Nieuwe Krim which begins with Nieuw (New) to distinguish from this village.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/nieuwekrim |title=Nieuwe Krim - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=14 March 2022 |language=nl}}
In 1862, De Krim obtained an official concession to excavate the peat.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/de-krim |title=De Krim |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=14 March 2022 |language=nl}} From 1890 onwards, the economy was based on potatoes, and in 1906, a potato starch factory opened. In 1911, the factory closed, but reopened as a cooperative and was renamed Onder Ons (Between Us). The factory closed in 1990. In 2004, the former rinse water basin of the factory was turned into a nature area and bird reserve.{{cite web|url=https://www.landschapoverijssel.nl/routes/de-krimp-vloeivelden |title=De Krim(p): vloeivelden |website=Landschap Overwijssel |access-date=14 March 2022 |language=nl}} A watchtower has been constructed for the birdwatchers.{{cite web|url=https://vogelkijkhut.nl/view/674/ |title=De Krim - Vloeivelden De Krim - Uitkijktoren |website=Vogelkijkhut |access-date=14 March 2022 |language=nl}}
