History
The village was first mentioned in 1622 as Vriesche Palen, and means "Frisian border poles" which refers to the border with the province of Groningen.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/frieschepalen |title=Frieschepalen - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=2 April 2022 |language=nl}} A sconce was built in 1593 on the border to guard against the Spanish. The sconce was conquered in 1672 by Christoph Bernhard von Galen, the Prince-Bishop of Münster.
In 1650, the Drachtster Compagnonsvaart was dug and Frieschepalen developed into a peat colony. In 1927, a Reformed Church was built in the village.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/frieschepalen |title=Frieschepalen |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=2 April 2022 |language=nl}}
