Originally Fiemel was a hilltop village called Fimelon around the year 1000. The name may be related to Fivel, meaning "sea monster". In 1441 the village is listed as Fijmolen, in 1445 as Fimela. Here the river Fiemel Ae (Ffimell Ee, Fymele Ae, Fijmelinger Æ, Finser Ae) emptied into the sea sprouting up in the raised bog between Oostwold and Finsterwolde. The estuary had already been dammed by 1400, causing flooding in the Munter Ae basin. This river also formed the boundary between the two landscapes of Oldambt and Reiderland. According to Ten Post's Johan Rengers, Fimelinge unde had no other village, each of 7 or 8 men had weeds and they were large clean villages. These villages must have drowned around the year 1500. The village also formed its own court until the mid-15th century. Around 1520 Fiemel and Fiemelerhamrik were still about 780 grasses (330 hectares). Shortly afterwards a summer dyke was built towards Woldendorp (Dallingeweererdijk), which was later upgraded to a sea dyke, leaving the area around the Punt van Reide outside the dykes and largely lost
