Blije (Dutch: Blija) is a village in Noardeast-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 860 in January 2017.[3] Before 2019, the village was part of the Ferwerderadiel municipality.[4]

History

The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Blitha. The etymology is unclear.[5] Blije is a terp (artificial living mound) village which developed several centuries before Christ. The Dutch Reformed church dates from the 13th century and received its current shape in 1741.[6]

In 1840, Blije was home to 911 people.[4] Most of the terp except for the graveyard was excavated during the late-19th century.[6] During the 20th century, retail disappeared from the village, and only the pub remained.[4]
