History
The village was first mentioned in 1532 as Lotten, and means "low lying place". There was another hamlet called Lutten nearby which changed its name to {{ill|Oud-Lutten|nl}} (Old Lutten).{{cite web|url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/lutten2 |title=Lutten - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=29 April 2022 |language=nl}}{{cite web |url=https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/oudlutten#berkelplaatsnamen |title=Oud-Lutten - (geografische naam) |website=Etymologiebank |access-date=29 April 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=21 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321155434/https://etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/oudlutten#berkelplaatsnamen |url-status=live }} Lutten developed during the peat excavation of the raised bog. The construction of the {{ill|Dedemsvaart (canal)|nl|Dedemsvaart (kanaal)|lt=Dedemsvaart}} canal stagnated near Lutten around 1830, because the {{ill|Marke (government)|nl|Marke (bestuur)|lt=marke}} Ane had not divided up the wilderness in its area.{{cite web |url=https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu03_01/sten009monu03_01_0067.php |title=Lutten |author=Ronald Stenvert & Jan ten Hove |year=1998 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90 400 9200 1 |language=nl |access-date=29 April 2022 |archive-date=17 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220317170721/https://www.dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu03_01/sten009monu03_01_0067.php |url-status=live }} A marke was a form of government with communal land.{{cite web |url=https://www.geheugenvandrenthe.nl/boermarke |title=Boermarke |website=Geheugen van Drenthe |access-date=29 April 2022 |language=nl |archive-date=25 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220125001430/https://www.geheugenvandrenthe.nl/boermarke |url-status=live }} In 1832, the problem was solved by digging a canal to Slagharen.
