Dedemsvaart is a village with a population of about 12,000 people and is located along side an old canal that has lost its value after the WWII. The area around Dedemsvaart, untill 2001, called Avereest was important for industrialisation. Willem Jan, baron van Dedem tot Den Berg made a plan to dig a canal which began July 9th 1809. Around two years later in 1811 the canal was already dug to Balkbrug. In 1845 the town got into financial trouble and the baron had to give up the town to the province who took further care of the town. Over the years the canal changed and eventually became useless. Dedemsvaart town lies near the N377 between Balkbrug and Lutten. The community Avereest disappeared in 2001 and became part of Hardenberg.

Gramsbergen and its hamlets have been inhabited since pre-historic times. In the 'Cultuur Historisch Informatie Centrum Vechtdal' (The Historical and Cultural Center of Vechtdal), in the centre of Gramsbergen, several archaeological artifacts are exhibited. These artifacts come from settlements from around 8000BC.
