The village was first mentioned in 1781 as "Gasselter en Drouwer Veenen", and means "the peat area belonging to Drouwen".[3] Drouwererveen started as a peat excavation village around 1820, and is a linear settlement along the road from Drouwen.[4]

Drouwenerveen was home to 305 people in 1840.[5] The Dutch Reformed church was built around 1915, and has become a residential house.[4]
