The village was first mentioned in 13th century as Westerle, and means "western burial mound". West has been added to distinguish between Heiligerlee.[4] Westerlee is a road village which developed on the south side of the former Winschoten peninsula.[5]
The Dutch Reformed church was built between 1776 and 1777 as a replacement of the medieval church. The tower has probably been enlarged in the late-19th century.[5]
