De Tike is a small village in Smallingerland in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 311 in January 2017.[3]

History

The village was first mentioned in 1541 as Teeckeveen, and means "raised bog with ticks".[4] De Tike developed on a clay ridge during the peat excavation of the region in the 17th century.[5][6] After the peat was removed, the land turned into heath which was cultivated in the early 20th century. De Tike never had a church, however the village house was used for religious ceremonies as well.[6]

De Tike was home to 277 people in 1840.[6] It used to be a hamlet under Opeinde. In 1953, it was elevated to village, and later physically separated from Opeinde by the construction of the N31 expressway.[5]
