History edit

Zuidvelde is an esdorp which developed in the middle ages on higher grounds. The large communal pasture of the village is grassed by sheep.[3] It was first mentioned in 1325 as "Stephanus de Zutvelde" and means "the southern field of Stephan". South refers to Norg.[4] The farm on Asserstraat 78 dates from around 1570.[3] In 1840, it was home to 90 people.[5]
