History
The village was first mentioned in 1449 as Indyck, and means "interior dike.[4] Indijk developed in the late middle ages along the Ee river.[5]
In 1497, the church was burned down by soldiers. In 1520, the village was destroyed by Schieringers. A new church was built, but had turned into a ruin by 1720, and was later demolished. A belfry was placed on the cemetery instead. In 1949, it was destroyed by a sorm and rebuilt in 1956.[5]
Indijk was home to 65 people in 1840.[6] Before 2011, the village was part of the Wymbritseradiel municipality.[6]
