The Zwaneveldsgat was created by excavating sand for the railway embankment of the Woldjerspoor, which ran from Groningen, via Slochteren to Weiwerd. The first train ran over the track in 1929. During the Second World War the line was demolished by the Germans to use the materials on the Eastern Front.
