History
The village was first mentioned in 1259 as "curtem Durse". The etymology is unclear.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/deurze |title=Deurze - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=10 April 2022 |language=nl}} In 1258, {{ill|Otto I of Bentheim|nl|Otto I van Bentheim}} awarded former possessions of the monastery {{ill|Maria in Campis|nl}}, who moved to Assen, to Hako Stevenzoon van Hardenberg. The lands would become known as Deurze. There was a wind mill, however it was destroyed by Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Prince-Bishop of Münster in 1672 who had built a sconce near the village for his failed invasion of the Netherlands.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/deurze |title=Deurze |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=10 April 2022 |language=nl}}
