History
The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Grewingdorp. The etymology is unclear.{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/greonterp |title=Greonterp - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Greonterp is a terp (artificial living hill) village from the early middle ages. It was located between lakes. The lake Sensmeer was poldered in 1633, however the village remained isolated. Later a small road was built to Blauwhuis on which the village was dependent.{{cite web|url=https://www.frieslandwonderland.nl/plaats/greonterp |title=Greonterp |website=Friesland Wonderland |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}}
The population of Greonterp remained Catholic after the Reformation. The medieval church had become Protestant. Church service was later decreased to once a year, and in 1751, the last sermon was held. The church was demolished in 1780. In 1822, a little bell tower was built on the cemetery.
Groenterp was home to 107 people in 1840.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/greonterp |title=Greonterp |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=5 April 2022 |language=nl}} Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality and before 1984 it was part of Wûnseradiel municipality.
Notable people
