Dantumadiel is a municipality in the province of Friesland in the Netherlands. Dantumadiel is a rural municipality characterized by economic activity and agriculture.The first time Dantumadiel is mentioned was in a document from 1242. At that time Dantumadiel, or Donthmadeil as it was then known, was a part of the Winninghe district, the northern part of Oostergo. The grietenij Dantumadiel was led by a grietman who was holding office in Rinsumageast and Dantumawâld. The Dutch Municipalities Act of 1851 abolished the grietenijen, which automatically became gemeenten headed by a mayor.[1]
