Odoornerveen is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Borger-Odoorn, and lies about 12 km northwest of Emmen.
The village was first mentioned between 1851 and 1855 as "Odoorner veen", and means " peat colony of Odoorn". In 1854, the Oranjekanaal was dug to excavate the peat in the area and the village developed along the canal. [3] About 1,600 hectares (4,000 acres) of peat was excavated between 1856 and 1880, and the area was gradually cultivated for agriculture. Odoornerveen never had a church. The former pub was converted into a village house in 1984. [4]
